PAUL YOUNG: KWIK KWOTES!
Solo success came to Paul Young with The Secret Of Association—and here’s a few of the rough-voiced singer’s views on his profession and how he sees himself:
“I don’t think a song should be done one way. I get a kick out of arranging other people’s songs and everything.”
“I didn’t model myself on any one person.”
“I’ve got lots of different stuff in my record collection—obviously, a lot of soul, because that’s where the singers are. ”
“I definitely don’t see myself as doing anythin remotely connected with Linda Ronstadt! I U'H Tom Jones.”
“I’d like to grow old gracefully, be a Tony Bennett or something like that—where you’re a singer, you can still get up there, but you don’t have to run around the stage and keep doing the splits for the rest of your life. ”
“Tdon’t really like to air my views that raitdp I’m quite shy, I suppose...I don’t particularly§ like the attention that I get. ”
