Apparently, you haven’t been all around the world looking for your baby.
If you like her, may I suggest also checking out Basia.
“Time and Tide” was a real good album.
Yeah.. same here.. my musical tastes change over time as well. Just in recent months, I’ve become a fan of music by the Allman Brothers Band and the groups that have spun off from it.
Yes, she was great. Try her duet with Barry White. Priceless.
She should have been a bigger star with her talent. All in all she’s had a decent career.
Never heard of her, so I just checked her out on youtube:

I didn’t care for her. Too much echo chamber and covering up her not-so-strong voice with a lot of background harmonies. Not my kind of music.
Where are the present day Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklins, Ricki Lee Joneses, Patsy Clarks, Winona Judds? Women who could really belt them out.
Most songs I hear on the radio nowadays from women all have nasally, weak and unappealing voices singing crap.
Maybe it’s just me....I’m an old fart.
Bmrk for later
English singer. Has released 8 albums of music so far and had a small acting career on the side. Never a big star but has a following which now includes you.
For some reason, I associate “Swing Out Sister” with that era, as well, liked “Breakout”.
Well you missed a lot. You might like these, and I do not mean to be condescending. Lisa DalBello: pretty girls. Patti Drew: Working on a Groovy Thing, Tell him. Katherine MaKinnon: That’s when you know. Evie Sands: I love making love to you, Hollywood. Minny Ripperton. Taylor Dane: Don’t Rush me. Whitney Houston: Moment of Truth. Enya: Anywhere Is. Patty Smyth: Warrior, Beat of a Heart. And that is just a start..........
Any FREEPERS listen to Amy Whinehouse? I don’t but I saw s special on her and she was pretty talented.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of her myself.
Everybody hit the dance floor:

Sorry I’ve never heard of her and my tastes generally stopped in 1972. with about five or six exceptions.
She’s was great before you were born
...
Because the main stream media, who control almost all access to information, made sure you never found out about her.
Thus, we should continue to support places like FreeRepublic so we CAN find out about folks like her.

Another one to try is Renee Olstead. Absolutely amazing voice! Give a listen: https://youtu.be/3uhuh2cRJAo
I also had never heard of her, but that isn’t my kind of music anyway. Yes, she has a good voice, but like a million others I’d say her music is so-so. A good voice is only one part of the process, in my opinion. To get my vote, you need an exceptional voice(which maybe she has)& also very meaningful songs,music, & backup.
