I have the background singers of Ray Charles, the background singers of Smokey Robinson, and the background singers of Barry White and I built a choir around that.

Della Reese

I think we did our first session in 1958. There were no black background singers - there were only white singers. They weren't even called background singers; they were just called singers. I don't know who gave us the name 'background singers,' but I think that came about when The Blossoms started doing background.

Darlene Love

Ninety percent of people support background checks. Which means even people who can't pass a background check support background checks.

Bill Maher

I don't really care what someone's background is; creativity can come from any background.

Jarvis Cocker

I have an art-school background, not a fashion background where it's like, 'Oh, we're going on holiday to Miami.'

Giles Deacon

I didn't come from a combat sports background where I had a real definitive background in anything to fall back onto.

Joe Biden

Tommy Wiseau

Many of the people I've worked with over the years came from a sketch-comedy background or an improv background, and I've learned a lot from them.

Megan Mullally

I was asked to sing with Mavis Staples on a gospel compilation called 'Oh Happy Day.' And, you know, other than being totally intimidated at the prospect of singing with Mavis, I was honored. I don't really have much of a background in gospel music.

Patty Griffin

I have a Gracie background and a Matt Serra background so I've always used jiu-jitsu but it takes a while to reach black belt level.

Chris Weidman

There should be a background check every time a firearm is transferred. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and buy guns without a background check. There are Internet gun sales, classified ads in the newspapers - and you can buy guns without background checks.

Michael D. Barnes

I've never been a huge prog fan. My background is punk. My background is learning how to play a bar chord and listen to Discharge records when I was a kid.

Justin Broadrick

I came from this very traditional background and I benefited hugely from feminism. I felt privileged going to university and doing a PhD. Most people of my background don't get to do that.
