Been pretty busy the past week, happened to had a molar extraction(strange its NOT painful), my worst fears unfounded. Going to pull out the other molar in about 3 weeks time. Anyway, its also strange how some female artistes are famously unfamous. I mean they didn't enjoy success commercially but are well regarded by music lovers/audiophiles, who appreciate their music.
Mention Jennifer Warnes and the song "I've Had the Time of My Life" a duet with Bill Medley from the movie Dirty dancing. But there are other gems from this very talented singer. She had a album "Famous Blue Raincoat" (which is a staple for audiophiles when they audition hifi systems). Tracks include:
1. First We Take Manhattan
2. Bird On A Wire
3. Famous Blue Raincoat
4. Joan Of Arc
5. Ain't No Cure For Love
6. Coming Back To You
7. Song Of Bernadette
8. A Singer Must Die
9. Came So Far For Beauty
I had this original release vinyl but realised on one of the tracks, its scratched!
Famous Blue Raincoat
In 2007, Cisco Records released the Famous Blue Raincoat 20th Anniversary Edition

In 1992, she released an album called "The Hunter". It is a very rare album and when I first wanted to get it (sometime in the late 1990s, a shop at Adeplhi was selling it for $450. I regret I didn't get it (albeit, that's some serious dosh). Now the asking price (if its available is around US500).
Cisco re-released "The Hunter" Remastered 180 gram vinyl in 2008. It was also a limited edition of 8000.

If you have never hear 'other' Jennifer Warnes songs, go take a listen. Her voice is excellent and a real songbird.
