One of the greatest female singers to ever grace the earth. What she lacks in physical beauty, compared to some of her fellow singers she makes up and surpasses them with her voice. The former being why she doesn't get such a following and recognition.

Wish she would release more stuff.

She has a great voice & a great song writer

Do you mean recognition like pop stars have fame?

if so, I think her lack of mainstream recognition is because she isn't a vacuous auto-tune making machine.

You nailed it. Unfortunately, how you look is more important than how you sound in today's world.

"Fast Car" is actually one of my favorite songs. She was moderately popular back in the day, though probably not as much as her talent deserves.

I accidentally came across this duet with her and Buddy Guy. Good stuff.

She was reminiscent of Joan Armatrading, like Tanita Takaram they are hard to pigeon hole.
