March 7, 1962
American chanteuse, Lyricist, actress
Back in the 1980s I was enamoured with a singer named Taylor Dayne.
Her look went from vulnerable and shy to big haired riff belting dynamo and the change up was as interesting as the songs she sang.
The first time I heard her I thought I was listening to the power of a sister before the microphone only to learn that she was one of those Tom Jones or Elviseque voices with presence, projection, and a sultry, soulful inflection.
I tell you she was just too much for me to bear in all my young impetuous redneck never a chance in hell self.
She has sold 75 million records and is a multiple grammy nominee. Oh, that I were worthy ...
