Anybody here ever heard of a singer/piano player named Kelley Hunt? I discovered her quite by chance while watching the results of a Georgia-state Shag dance competition on YouTube. The winning couple was Shaggin' to the hottest Boogie Woogie tune I've ever heard. Naturally, I had to Google the title of the song based on just a few of its lyrics. Luckily, I found it first thing and was able to determine that the artist is Kelley Hunt, and the title of the song is "Queen Of The 88's".
Although this recording is from the year 2000, if you've grown tired of the same old, same old, and you're yearning for a fresh, new sound, Kelley Hunt just might be right up your alley!
