'I learned how to deal with pressure by singing in a choir,' Record breaking England batsman Alastair Cook quoted in 'The Times.'
'Singing is  the key to a long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humour,'  Composer and performer Brian Eno, who sings regularly with an a capella choir.
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond was once an outstanding boy soprano.  He told the BBC's Desert Island Discs that singing in public was an excellent preparation for a career in public life.
