Challenges Quote by Margaret Whiting

“That's really what was wonderful for me growing up, since I got to know so many of the songwriters who liked me and thought I had talent. They would then tell me how to read a lyric and sing a song, and challenge me to try and find a different end to a song.” quote by Margaret Whiting — Download Open image
