The American singer loves dancing to Marvin Gaye and cleaning the yard to Bruce Springsteen. But which big shot singer-songwriter can’t she stand?
The first song I remember hearing
It’s a tie between Honeycomb by Jimmie Rodgers and (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window? by Patti Page, which came out the year before I was born. I’d have heard them on the radio, growing up in Chicago and then Arizona.
The first single I bought
Ticket to Ride by the Beatles, because I liked the B-side, Yes It Is. My first album was Fifth Dimension by the Byrds, because I loved I Come and Stand at Every Door, about a ghost from Hiroshima. In Phoenix, you could buy records at the drugstore, so I’d have bought them from Walgreens.
