Its great when I come across a singer that I have not heard before and this one is no exception !
she has a voice that could be instantly recognisable if there were more recordings of her !! as it say's below "France's gain the rest of the Musical world our loss " !!!...thank's John !!
Its well worth a listen to if you like different voices !!
America's loss is France's gain. Nancy Holloway migrated to France primarily because of a sour, premature marriage and has remained a resident for more than 40 years, enjoying success as a recording artist and actress. Holloway's fame hasn't extended far past French borders, where she continues to record, sing, and appear in plush jazz nightspots. Though born and raised in America, she's virtually unknown in the United States.
