Margaret LeAnn Rimes (Cibrian) is a well known American Pop / Country / Contemporary Christian music celebrity from Mississippi. LeAnn, as she is most referred to by, was born to (Father) Wilbur Rimes and (Mother) Belinda Butler Rimes on August the twenty-eighth in the year of nineteen eighty-two, in the state capitol of Mississippi, Jackson. (2.) LeAnn’s music career fell forward when she was three years old, at the occasion she introduced herself to singing. At the age of five years old, roughly two years coming after the previous event, she did innumerable shows in Dallas, Texas, where she was raised. There, she just so happened to stumble across Bill Mack, who was highly intrigued with her performances, and how sophistocated her voice …show more content…
Furthurmore, breaking the name LeAnn into two names (Le and Ann) the combination means (Le) that of “coming from wood” and (Ann) “gracious.” (7, 8) In the year of nineteen ninety-five, LeAnn Rimes was scheduled to mount one hundred concerts together with being featured in multiple television shows transversely throughout the entire state of Texas. It is so remarkable how possible it is for one person with so much dexterity to have a career at such an adolescent age. LeAnn Rimes is who so many people, including myself, aspire to be. (6.) In spite of the fact that LeAnn Rimes’ “founder”, Bill Mack, first wrote the song Blue sometime in the nineteen sixties years, LeAnn sang and had it recorded around nearly thirty five (or so) years thereafter, in the great year of nineteen ninety-three. All Bill Mack desired was for someone to sing Blue the “correct way”, and when he encountered and discovered LeAnn Rimes, he knew she was the appropriate person to sing the song - and oh, how right he was in his decision for choosing her to be the singer for it. …show more content…
It even, within nearly (if not less than) a week, sold over 123,000 times worldwide. (5.) In the same year, not only was LeAnn recomended for one of the CMA’s (Country Music Awards) greatest singers, but also youngest country singer. I would say, at this instant in her life, she had her “life schedule” set and organized in proceeding. (5.) Despite all of the songs she has recorded from nineteen ninety five to this day (May twentieth, two thousand fifeteen) LeAnn still performs her fabulous hits from the nineties at her concerts - especially Bill Mack’s song of her famous recording Blue alongside the song with the inscription of How Do I Live. Seeing as she can still sing those songs to this day, sounding, for the greatest part, the same from (give or take a few) twenty years ago, shows the talent that God has given her and how gifted she really is for using the talent she has been blessed by the great God
she had in the coming years with many great songs being recorded in the sixties. Lynn soon became best friends with Pasty Cline, another female country singer who helped Lynn navigate the music world. Cline would tragically die in a plane crash leaving Lynn heartbroken and lost with no one there to help her. Lynn songs were influenced by the world around her singing about the struggles of motherhood and wives in her songs “Blue Kentucky Girl” and “Wine, Women, and Song”. Lynn felt what every woman at the time was feeling and that was the suffocation of being stuck in a role and not being able to break out and accomplish what you want, but soon that would change. Lynn also wrote about the Vietnam War with her song “Dear Uncle Sam” she was not afraid to tackle issues of the period. In 1967 Lynn be the first to win Female Vocalist of the Year.
Mary Wade, born on the 5th of October 1777 was the youngest convict to be sent to Australia. Before her life as a convict, she would sweep and beg on the streets of London to make her living.
An influential American printmaker and painter as she was known for impressionist style in the 1880s, which reflected her ideas of the modern women and created artwork that displayed the maternal embrace between women and children; Mary Cassatt was truly the renowned artist in the 19th century. Cassatt exhibited her work regularly in Pennsylvania where she was born and raised in 1844. However, she spent most of her life in France where she was discovered by her mentor Edgar Degas who was the very person that gave her the opportunity that soon made one of the only American female Impressionist in Paris. An exhibition of Japanese woodblock Cassatt attends in Paris inspired her as she took upon creating a piece called, “Maternal Caress” (1890-91), a print of mother captured in a tender moment where she caress her child in an experimental dry-point etching by the same artist who never bared a child her entire life. Cassatt began to specialize in the portrayal of children with mother and was considered to be one of the greatest interpreters in the late 1800s.
Mary Bryant was in the group of the first convicts (and the only female convict) to ever escape from the Australian shores. Mary escaped from a penal colony which often is a remote place to escape from and is a place for prisoners to be separated. The fact that Bryant escaped from Australia suggests that she was a very courageous person, this was a trait most convicts seemed to loose once they were sentenced to transportation. This made her unique using the convicts.
For my final performance in Basics of Singing, I will be performing the song “Ireland” from Legally Blonde the Musical. This musical first opened February 2nd, 2007 at the Palace Theatre in New York City. Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin brought Amanda Brown’s novel and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture to a new life of song and dance. “Ireland” is a piece that presents a different side to a character, Paulette, that is not seen or noted in the film nor the book. This different side of Paulette is the reason I chose the song.
Women in popular music have created a tremendous history in the wake of feminism. They have made their presence visible by identifying themselves as feminists. Being a woman was hard during that stage. Women were not allowed to do many things due to gender inequality such as the right to vote and to own a property. Therefore, from that moment onwards, women decided to stand up and make some changes. During the early stage of feminism, women developed their skills in popular music to create awareness. They associate popular music with feminism. Although there were racial issues between the black and white during that time, both sides continued to establish in different ways, through different genres of music. Black women focused on ‘black genres’ such as blues, jazz, and gospel, whereas white women performed in musical theatres. Female artists such as Lilian Hardin, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Nina Simone were among the notable exceptions of female instrumentalists during feminism. In this essay, I will assess feminism focusing on the second-wave.

Interview footage of her colleagues, fellow musicians, and friends such as Annie Ross, Buck Clayton, Mal Waldron, and Harry “Sweets” Edison look back on their years of friendship and experiences with the woman they affectionately call “Lady”. Their anecdotes, fond memories, and descriptive way of describing Holiday’s unique talent and style, show the Lady that they knew and loved. The film also makes interesting use of photographs and orignal recordings of Holiday, along with movie footage of different eras. With the use of these devices, we get a feel for what Holiday’s music meant for the audience it reached. The black and white footage from the thirties of groups of people merrily swing dancing, paired with a bumptious, and swingin’ number Billie Holiday performed with Count Basie called “Swing Me Count”, makes one wonder what it might have been like to actually be there. To wildly swing dance to the live vocals of Billie Holiday must have been an amazing experience, as this film demonstrates.
