Rickie Lee Jones — American Musician born on November 08, 1954,

Rickie Lee Jones is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter and producer. Over the course of a career that spans over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standards. Her songwriting has been characterized as "a blend of bravado and vulnerability wavers on indefinable borders". She is also known for her unique singing style, especially in live performances. One concert reviewer, describing her rendering of "We Belong Together", states she "reached her apex, skating from swells into near screams into breathy whispers, from pointillist staccato scats into brassy, trumpetlike bursts"...

I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.
You never know when you're making a memory.
I spent my childhood in an imaginary world - probably because I needed an escape. I think that's one of the reasons people have imaginations - because they can't maintain existence here.
Popular music has always had its really horrendous stuff.
There is no fear before and no fear after. We give our best.
