The first song I heard her sing was “When Sunny Gets Blue”. She absolutely slayed it! I was hooked,I literally got chill bumps! “Who is this woman I’ve been missing out on?” I was so moved by her gorgeous vocal texture & her elegance, I had to share it with you !
Hello Jan ! What inspired you to become a singer ?

A Mini Series or Movie I’ve been writing about my parents, their love story and how the war took my father’s life before I ever got to meet him. To be able to act, sing & write some of the songs would be the ultimate piece of legacy I could leave to my family and generations of kids growing up without ever knowing their fathers and the void it leaves in your lives. Years later I came full circle with finding 2 boxes of photographs & letters my father wrote about me, before I was even born, becoming a “Big Star.” I even found a photograph of he & Bob Hope while he was stationed in Alaska (before heading to Europe). which gave me the idea of writing this story, because of ….
