Lorez Alexandria--My most popular post
So here it is again.
Lorez Alexandria
A solid singer who is superior at interpreting lyrics, gives a soulful feeling to each song and improvises with subtlety, Lorez Alexandria has been a popular attraction for several decades. She sang gospel music with her family at churches starting in the mid-'40s and worked in Chicago nightclubs in the 1950s. With the release of several albums for King during 1957-59, Alexandria became popular beyond her hometown and by the early '60s she was living and working in Los Angeles. Despite a long period off records (only a few private recordings during the 1965-76 period), Alexandria has survived through the many changes in musical styles and in the 1990s can be heard in excellent form. In addition to King her earlier recording sessions were for Argo and Impulse while her later albums have been for Discovery and Muse. ~ Scott Yanow
