Grammys, shmammys...I could name you dozens of female vocalists, currently working both here and in the States who could blow the lot of 'em off stage. Ruby Turner, Connie Lush, Patricia Scott, Shirley Johnson...unfortunately, they don't have the hype and glamorous/interestingly wasted image (delete whichever applicable) to attract attention. The day I let the media dictate to me who I should and shouldn't like is the day I give up on music (as I'm sure both of you would agree!).
