Vocalist

The Resume

    (November 16, 1948- )
    Pronounced 'SHY'
    Recorded 'Thunder and Lightning'

Why she might be annoying:

    She is a one hit wonder.
    In 1971, she read 'Peace With God' by Billy Graham and became a complete Jesus freak, stating 'I will never be able to love a man who I do not love as much as I love Jesus.'
    She was touted as the next Janis Joplin and a 'female Elton John,' but lack of self-promotion and touring burnout stalled her career.
    She fired her manager, talked her way out of her Columbia contract, took control of her own musical direction, and faded into obscurity.
    She has been described as friendly, but a private person who is not easy to get to know (so much for show biz).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her violinist father died when she was 10.
    She could play six instruments by age 12, though piano is her first love.
    Rolling Stone Magazine described her as a 'rip-snorting female vocalist-composer-producer whose performances are nothing less than searing.'
    'Thunder and Lightning' sold over 1 million records and was a Top 20 smash (November 1972).
    She moved to Los Angeles in 1993 and dedicated herself to helping the underprivileged in the community.
    She's still popular in some European circles, especially Germany and the Netherlands.
    She was honored by the 18th Annual Music Industry during their Annual Pre-Grammy Celebration for her musical accomplishments (February 21, 1999).
