Hi Ash, sure.
Basia is a fantastic singer. She established a successful international recording career featuring characteristically Latin-flavoured jazz-pop crossover songs during the late 1980s and early 1990s and the late 2000s and 2010s, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. She is noted for possessing a wide vocal range, approximately three octaves that span from contralto to soprano tessituras, as well as her singular jazz-influenced stylings and multi-layered harmonies. She has sold a few million of albums. Her best known albums are 'Time and Tide' , 'London Warsaw New York.' One of her big hits is called Cruising for Bruising'.

There is some footage on YouTube but not really much.

I wanted to post some photos of her here but I can't see that option.

Michael

Thanks. That's very helpful. Was she ever on "Soul Train"? I used to tape episodes of that back in the day.

Ha! Not a Soul Train type of singer. YouTube "Time and Tide" to hear the one song she's somewhat known for. I assume she has other songs as well. I always figured she's a much bigger known name in Europe and maybe Asia. But she was never really known beyond that one song in the US.

You may want to ask the huge USA fan base on YouTube :-p.

Just ribbing you, good luck on the search.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing it.
It's a great release but I couldn't find it on DVD. The interview is on YouTube plus a few videos. I have a Japanese laserdisc. In the interview she says how her album 'London Warsaw New York' was made. I recommend it.
