In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. "It's Too Late" by Carole King was constantly on the record player during my parents divorce in 1971. I was five years old. I can still sing the whole song from beginning to end! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Linton Kwesi Johnson, Bass Culture Neil Young, After the Gold Rush The Beatles, Revolver When I heard Revolver, I realized that rock and roll can go in any and all directions. When I heard After The Gold Rush, I realized that a singer-songwriter can change the world. When I heard Bass Culture, I realized the power of poetry and rhythm. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
