http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 [Edited 3/25/07 11:45am] I said this before, but I have an ex-cowoker who is the nephew of KoKo Taylor...and I always thought that Cassandra Wilson was more of a Jazz singer than blues singer....I've heard of Alberta Hunter, and Rosette Thorton, I thought that Ms. Thorton was more of a gospel singer...

I included Cassandra Wilson because, although she's primarily known as a Jazz vocalist, she has the versatility to also sing Blues convincingly. Sister Rosetta Thorpe was initially a gospel singer but created some controversy in that world when she recorded a few straight Blues records in the '50s. tA Tribal Disorder

Francine Reed:
Vocalist Francine Reed can't remember a time when she didn't sing. In her youth, the Chicago-born, Phoenix-raised song stylist sang in church and in grammar school. She began singing professionally with her family when she was five and continued into her teens. She got married young and had four children, whom she ended up raising alone. She worked a variety of day jobs and kept her singing career an avocation until 1985, when some friends introduced her to Lyle Lovett. Lovett was interested in finding a female vocalist for his new band and found his singer in Reed. She toured with Lovett for ten years as a member of Lovett's Large Band, and did several TV performances with the Texas singer/songwriter. While her association with Lovett continues, she has embarked on the kind of solo career she always wanted when working the day jobs to support her family. To date, Reed has recorded two albums for the Atlanta-based Ichiban label in 1995 and 1996. Her amphitheater performances with Lovett must have surely had an effect on sales of both of her records. Reed also got a few other nice breaks, including the chance to do some singing for TV commercials. Tom Cruise cranks her album up in a scene from the 1993 movie The Firm.  "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."
