Didn't know of this lady till earlier this week when I picked up her 2001 Virgin CD 'Everybody Got Their Something'.
She's the daughter of famed songwriter / producer Don Costa [[http://www.discogs.com/artist/Don+Co...duction&q=&p=2) and cut some stuff with her dad back in the 80's when still a teenager.
The CD was really cheap [[£1) and looked interesting, so I bought it & for the money aren't displeased. Quite a funky soul type offering in all with a few really good cuts.
More info on her here ........

She cut an album that Stax put out in 2008 but seems she's struggled to get a record deal in the last 5 years, so guess she's another decent singer who's been lost to music lovers.
Her music reminds me a lot of the stuff Bettye Davis and Nona Hendrix were doing in the past [[rocky Funk & soul).
Anyone else know her music & have tracks to recommend ?
