Another great mainly unknown performer who came to my notice with her outings on the Mirwood & Keymen labels outta Los Angeles.She,s worked with people like Jackie Lee & Luther Vandross. She Starting in 1968 and through at least the summer of 1969 she was an original member of the Los Angeles production of Hair. Wearing signature pigtails she opened the show, singing "Age of Aquarius". She played Bread in the 1972 musical Dude and performed in the original musical revues Inner City, The Night That Made America Famous and Your Arms Too Short to Box with God, for which she won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical. Her debut LP was released in 1973 by RCA Records titled Hall-Mark produced by Billy Jackson. She went on to star as Jewel in the original New York production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. On television she was a regular on the first two seasons of Diagnosis: Murder, & appeared on one of the lethal weapon movies. Having only released 2 very good and hard to obtain albums on RCA & Capitol,as well as a few 45,s still sought after by collectors.She was a member of all girl group the Blackberries who recorded a live album in japan in 1973 & released a handful of 45,s. Her sought after dancers are included but sadly no youtube clips of the classic " These Are The Things (A Poor Child Remembers)"
