So, the occasional Ripperton or Melissa Manchester song would make inroads without much more happening for them on the charts. It occurred to me to wonder what happened to Chi Coltrane. Seems she had a second career as an Xian pop artist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N63YxKsR5-ATodd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-86870655676066671282015-03-19T07:45:16.693-04:002015-03-19T07:45:16.693-04:00Oh, yes, I remember this!Oh, yes, I remember this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-84771998757982555502015-03-19T07:43:01.685-04:002015-03-19T07:43:01.685-04:00I wonder if certain kinds of singers were just not...I wonder if certain kinds of singers were just not candidates for more than one-hit but were quite successful in other ways and venues. pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-49447489642665070752015-03-19T03:06:43.841-04:002015-03-19T03:06:43.841-04:00I heard five way back when.

Her voice could span continents. My my my. Fond memories of an elegant night. After the concert a couple of us college newspaper writers went backstage and interviewed the whole crew. I think she could span five octaves, but somebody should check for me please.Fred Zackelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-77330433302104415872015-03-18T19:46:07.253-04:002015-03-18T19:46:07.253-04:00RipperTon, not Son.
