Influences: A broad range of influences from jazz vocalists such as Dinah Washington, Big Maybelle, Jimmy Scott, Nina Simone and Billy Holiday, Blues/R&B artists like Etta James, Koko Taylor and Bettye Lavette in addition to show-biz types like Bette Midler, Judy Garland, Tim Curry and dare I say Ethel Merman.
Ultra-rare video of Cyndi Lauper before going solo with her band Blue Angel doing a cover of Gene Pitney's I'm Gonna Be Strong...my all-time favorite Cyndi Lauper track!An incredible Dorothy Donegan video--a fantastic pianist!
Love this video of a very young Koko Taylor singing her best known song Wang Dang Doodle
Tim Curry in concert in Chicago circa 1978 singing I'm Going Home from Rocky Horror Picture Show....beautiful....except for the one obnoxious back up vocal :^)
I have no idea who this lady is, but at least she has great taste in music-- hilarious
Sounds Like: Classic Jazz, Blues, R&B material filtered through a cabaret experience.
