(MUSIC)
STEVE EMBER: Tom Waits is a singer/songwriter whose voice sounds like a truck crossing over hundreds of stones. It has a deep, rough and dark quality. It is the perfect balance to the touching poetry of his songs. Tom Waits’ music touches on the private experiences many people have, like the sweetness that remains from a long-ago love.

STEVE EMBER: Tom Waits is a California native. He taught himself to play piano when he was a child. He started playing in a band in high school. Waits released his first album, “Closing Time,” in nineteen seventy-three. It was not immediately popular. But other musicians began to record their own versions of his songs.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tom Waits kept working hard and putting out great music. But he also drank too much alcohol, smoked and travelled all the time for performances. He has said he was very sick in the middle nineteen seventies. But, in time, he quit drinking, got married, had three children and started an acting career. And he continues to write and sing beautiful songs.
