Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.

I have a 6-year-old and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.

I listen to KCRW in the car and Pandora radio which I stream through the stereo from my iPhone. I've been listening to everything from Caribou to Conway Twitty. If I'm going on a longer car ride I'll download some podcasts.

I really like listening to music in my car.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car because it makes me feel a certain way that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

That's what I love. Not being interrupted sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing.

Before now I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.

I've got CDs in my car listening all the time for that next song because everybody's looking.

I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.
