Renee Marie and her celebration of Harry Belafonte was superb and blew the roof off the Irvine Barclay Center tonight. Her 6 piece band were magical and the arrangements by Etienne Charles. Here I am with Renee and Barbara Brighton. #ReneeMarie, #JumpInLine

Had such a fun interview with Nikhail Korula on his show "Wake Up Hollywood"- I talked about my beginnings, why did I become a jazz singer, the FBI and my first CD, showed videos and generally had a great time. Here's the link

Stella (2000-2025) People said she was little, but her personality was so huge, I never saw her that way. She loved to snuggle on my lap, back at the neighborhood dogs on her little porch and ocassionally snack on cockroaches. She was my little princess and I'll always love her.
