Fans have enjoyed Norah Jones‘ silky voice since her 2002 debut Come Away With Me — but the singer once held out on sharing her pipes with her own son.

"A friend of my father's fell on hard times and was living out on the street, and he had this old, vintage upright piano, and my dad offered to keep it at our house," Springs, 27, tells People, recalling her performing roots.
