Hello. I just wanted to let you know I have just undone a couple of edits you made (for instance [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Hardman&diff=prev&oldid=1209367184 here]) which introduced unnatural punctuation. Sentences don't read nicely when they are so much broken up with unnecessary commas. Thanks. [[User:RobertG|RobertG]] ♬ [[User talk:RobertG|talk]] 16:09, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

== External links and commons category ==

I notice that you have been adding {{tl|commons category}} to many articles. Recent example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeffrey_Ashby&curid=468039&diff=1211421707&oldid=1202426941]. There are several issues with this particular edit:
# The article already had an "External links" section, so there is no need to - and generally you should not - add a second section with the same name. (Per [[MOS:SECTIONHEAD]], section headings should be unique within a page.)
# Per {{section link|Template:Commons_category|Location}} the template should be placed at the top of the last existing section on the page - there's no need to add a new section just for the template. (But if you absolutely must, which I don't advise, the template should float left, not right.)
# If you do add a new section, it should be before the navigation templates, not after, per [[MOS:APPENDIX]].
# If the Commons category name is the same as the Wikipedia article name, there's no need to include it in the template. Eg on [[Jeffrey Ashby]], {{tlx|commons category}} would work just as well as {{tlx|commons category|Jeffrey Ashby}}. This doesn't actually matter, but it might make it quicker/easier to add the template in many cases.
Not all of the above items apply to all of your recent edits, but many do.

Please read the relevant MOS sections (linked above) before making any more similar additions to articles. Also please consider going back and fixing the articles that you've already made these additions to.

*Three clubs opened brand-new ballparks in this season.
**[[Boston Red Sox]] : [[Fenway Park]]
**[[Cincinnati Reds]] : [[Crosley Field|Redland Field]], which later became Crosley Field
**[[Detroit Tigers]] : [[Tiger Stadium (Detroit)|Navin Field]], which was renamed Briggs Stadium and later Tiger Stadium
**Fenway Park is the only one still standing.
*In response to the demand for an alternative way to statistically rate pitchers, the National League elected to officially score the [[earned run average|Earned Run Average]] for the first time. [[1912 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] pitcher [[Jeff Tesreau]] went on to lead the new category with a 1.96 ERA.
[[File:Pres. Taft at Wash-Chicago baseball game 2-4-30 LCCN2014691027.jpg|thumb|300px|right|U.S. president Taft at a Washington-Chicago game, August 13]]
===January===
*January 2 – [[Brooklyn Dodgers|Brooklyn Superbas]] president and architect [[Charles Ebbets]] announces the purchase of 4.5 acres to build a 23,000-seat concrete and steel stadium in the [[Pigtown, Brooklyn|Flatbush Pigeon]] section of [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City|New York]]. As a result, construction on the ballpark will start [[Ebbets Field|on March 4th]]. In addition, Ebbets decides to name the ballpark after himself, thus it is called [[Ebbets Field]]. Completed in just over a year, [[Opening Day]] will be [[1913 in baseball#Events|on April 9, 1913]].

===February===
*February 12 – In a transaction of outfielders, the [[Boston Braves]] send [[Mike Donlin]] to the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] in exchange for [[Vin Campbell]]. After one season at Pittsburgh, Donlin will be waived to the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] but will refuse to report and elect to retire.

===March===
*March 9 – [[Arky Vaughan]] is born in [[Clifty, Arkansas]]. Vaughan, a hard-hitting shortstop, will make his major league debut in 1932 and will go on to hit for a .318 batting average during a 14-year career with the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] and the [[Brooklyn Dodgers]], while appearing in nine All-Star Games and winning a National League batting title in 1935. In 1985, Vaughan will be elected to the [[Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum]].

===April===
*April 9 – In the first game ever played at [[Fenway Park]], the [[Boston Red Sox]] defeat the [[Harvard University]] team in an exhibition game played in a snow storm.
*April 11 :
**The [[New York Yankees|New York Highlanders]], predecessors of the [[New York Yankees]], wear pinstripes uniforms for the first time while facing the [[Boston Red Sox]] in Opening Day at [[Hilltop Park]]. In the first inning, Boston scores a run against pitcher [[Ray Caldwell]]‚ while New York respond with two runs in the bottom against [[Smoky Joe Wood]]. That is all the scoring until the ninth inning‚ when the Sox score four runs‚ including two on a Wood single. Boston wins‚ 5–3‚ on Wood's seven hitter.
**[[1912 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] pitcher [[Rube Marquard]] begins a 19-game winning streak with an 18–3 triumph over the [[1912 Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers season|Brooklyn Dodgers]].
*April 21 – The [[1912 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] and the [[New York Yankees|New York Highlanders]] met at the [[Polo Grounds]] to play an unscheduled charity game to raise money for the survivors of the [[RMS Titanic]], which had sunk six days earlier. The Giants prevailed, 11–2.
*April 20 – The [[Boston Red Sox]] play their first home game in the history of [[Fenway Park]], which was built at a cost of $350,000. The Red Sox open up with an 11-inning, 7–6 victory over the [[New York Yankees|New York Highlanders]]. Boston outfielder [[Tris Speaker]] delivers the game-winning RBI before a crowd of 27,000 fans. Minutes later, the [[Detroit Tigers]] christen their [[Navin Field]] with a 6–5 victory over the [[Cleveland Guardians|Cleveland Naps]].
*April 26 – [[Hugh Bradley (baseball)|Hugh Bradley]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]] became the first player to hit a [[home run]] over the [[Green Monster]] at Fenway Park. It was his only home run of the 1912 season, and one of only two he hit in his five-season career.

===May===
*May 17 – [[Fenway Park]] is officially dedicated, almost one month after hosting its first game, as the [[Boston Red Sox]] host the [[Chicago White Sox]] playing in front of an overflow crowd. Nevertheless, the home town fans had their day spoiled as the White Sox trimmed the Red Sox, 5–2.
*May 18 – The [[Cincinnati Reds]] play the first game in the history of [[Crosley Field]].
** Members of the [[Detroit Tigers]] protest the suspension of [[Ty Cobb]], and vow not to play the [[Philadelphia A's]]. Manager [[Hughie Jennings]] is forced to recruit local college and semi-pro players to play in order not to forfeit the game. The A's win 24–2, with pitcher [[Allen Travers]] surrendering all 24 runs. It would mark Travers only appearance in a major league game.
*May 31 – The [[St. Louis Cardinals]] ended the 14-game winning streak of the [[1912 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] after a 5–1 effort. The Giants incredible start of 43–11 remained the best of the century and stood unmatched until [[1939 in baseball|1939]], when the [[New York Yankees]] tied the mark.

The Red Sox win the [[World Championship]] four games to three, with Game 2 being declared a tie. Nearly all of the contests were close, as four games in this series were decided by one run, a fifth ended in a [[Tie (draw)|tie]], and a sixth was decided by two runs. Game 7 was the only one with a margin greater than three runs. Two games, including the decisive Game 8, went to [[extra innings]]. In Games 1 and 3, the losing team had the tying and winning runs on base when the game ended. This was the first time in which a World Series was decided in the last inning of the final game, in ''[[sudden death (sport)|sudden death]]'', or sudden victory fashion. It was also the first Series where a team within one inning of losing came back to win. The next time a team that close to elimination recovered to win was in Game 6 of the [[1986 World Series|1986 Series]].<ref>Cohen, Richard M.; Neft, David S. (1990).

=== Exhibitions ===

'''Julee Ann Cruise''' (December 1, 1956 – June 9, 2022) was an American singer and actress, known for her collaborations with composer [[Angelo Badalamenti]] and film director [[David Lynch]] in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She released four albums beginning with 1989's ''[[Floating into the Night]]''.

Cruise is best known for her 1989 single "[[Falling (Julee Cruise song)|Falling]]"; an instrumental version was used as the theme song for the television series ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' in which she appeared in a recurring role as a [[Roadhouse (premises)|roadhouse]] singer. She reprised the role in the 1992 movie ''[[Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me|Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me]]'' (which also featured her music),<ref name=variety>{{cite web|last1=Earl|first1=William|last2=Halperin|first2=Shirley|url=https://variety.com/2022/music/news/julee-cruise-dead-dies-twin-peaks-1235290456/|title=Julee Cruise, Singer Who Worked With David Lynch on 'Twin Peaks' and 'Blue Velvet,' Dies at 65|date=June 10, 2022|website=Variety}}</ref> and in the 2017 revival series ''[[Twin Peaks season 3|Twin Peaks: The Return]]''.<ref name=":0" /> She was also featured in Lynch and Badalamenti's [[avant-garde]] 1990 theater production ''[[Industrial Symphony No. 1]],'' which was filmed and released on home media.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 25, 2020 |title=David Lynch's bizarre musical 'Industrial Symphony No. 1' |url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-lynch-rare-musical-industrial-symphony-no-1/ |access-date=June 10, 2022 |website=faroutmagazine.co.uk |language=en-US}}</ref>

Other notable singles included "[[Rockin' Back Inside My Heart]]" (1990) and "[[If I Survive]]" (1999) by the band [[Hybrid (British band)|Hybrid]], which featured her vocals.

==Early life==
Born in [[Creston, Iowa]], Julee Ann Cruise was the daughter of John Cruise, the town dentist, and Wilma Cruise, who was his office manager.<ref name = Genzlinger>{{cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/10/arts/music/julee-cruise-dead.html|title = Julee Cruise, Vocalist of 'Twin Peaks' Fame, Dies at 65|newspaper = [[The New York Times]]|date = June 10, 2022|access-date = June 10, 2022|last = Genzlinger|first = Neil|url-access = limited}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Julee-Cruise-Biography/934EDF1D3F54248F48256E4100080AF0|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903121105/http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Julee-Cruise-Biography/934EDF1D3F54248F48256E4100080AF0|url-status=dead|title=Sing 365|archive-date=September 3, 2014}}</ref> She studied [[French horn]] at [[Drake University]]<ref name="Kilian 1991">{{cite web | last=Kilian | first=Michael | title=WATCH THIS SPACE | website=[[Chicago Tribune]] | date=November 25, 1991 | url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-11-25-9104160714-story.html | access-date=June 10, 2022}}</ref> and performed as a singer and actress in [[Minneapolis]] with the Children's Theater Company<ref name="AboutTheArtists 2003">{{cite web | title=Julee Cruise theatre profile | website=AboutTheArtists | date=March 23, 2003 | url=https://www.abouttheartists.com/artists/284629-julee-cruise | access-date=June 10, 2022}}</ref> (notably in the role of [[Jinjur]] in stage adaptations of [[L. Frank Baum]]'s ''[[List of Oz books|Oz]]'' books).

She moved to New York and played [[Janis Joplin]] in a [[revue]] called ''Beehive'', while also working with [[Angelo Badalamenti]].<ref>{{cite web|work=[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]|url=http://www.davidlynch.de/tpmusictimeout.html|date=October 17, 1990|pages=21|author=Grant, Steve|title=Angelo Badalamenti Mood Awakening|access-date=May 14, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091015052728/http://www.davidlynch.de/tpmusictimeout.html|archive-date=October 15, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Career==
===Collaborations with Badalamenti and Lynch===
In 1985, Badalamenti was composing the score for [[David Lynch]]'s ''[[Blue Velvet (film)|Blue Velvet]]'', as well as serving as the vocal coach for the film's star, [[Isabella Rossellini]].<ref name="LynchNet">{{cite web | last=Ginsberg | first=Merle | title=Wild Music With Heart | website=LynchNet | url=http://www.lynchnet.com/movies90.html | access-date=June 10, 2022 | date=September 1990}}</ref> A key scene in ''Blue Velvet'' was intended to feature [[This Mortal Coil]]'s version of "[[Song to the Siren]]" by [[Tim Buckley]], with lead vocal by [[Elizabeth Fraser]]. When it proved prohibitively expensive to obtain rights to use the song,<ref name="Aston 2011">{{cite web | last=Aston | first=Martin | title=Song to the Siren's irresistible tang | website=[[The Guardian]] | date=November 17, 2011 | url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/17/song-to-the-siren-classic | access-date=June 10, 2022}}</ref> it was suggested that Badalamenti compose a pop song in the same style, with lyrics written by Lynch.<ref name="Norelli 2017 p. 19">{{cite book | last=Norelli | first=C.N. | title=Angelo Badalamenti's Soundtrack from Twin Peaks | publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing | series=33 1/3 | year=2017 | isbn=978-1-5013-2303-4 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Hl26DQAAQBAJ&pg=PT19 | access-date=June 10, 2022 | page=19}}</ref> Because the song required a vocalist with a haunting, ethereal voice, Badalamenti recommended Cruise, who had sung in a New York theater workshop Badalamenti had produced. The result of their initial collaboration was "Mysteries of Love", which figures prominently in ''Blue Velvet''{{'}}s closing scenes and gained a cult following.<ref name="Beaumont-Thomas 2022">{{cite web | last=Beaumont-Thomas | first=Ben | title=Julee Cruise, singer and frequent David Lynch collaborator, dies aged 65 | website=[[The Guardian]] | date=June 10, 2022 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/10/julee-cruise-singer-david-lynch-collaborator-dies-aged-65-b52s | access-date=June 16, 2022}}</ref>

Badalamenti and Lynch went on to write and produce additional songs for Cruise, most of which were featured in her debut album, ''[[Floating into the Night]]'' (1989). The album was released on September 12, 1989, by [[Warner Records|Warner Bros. Records]], and charted on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' the following year.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/julee-cruise-the-voice-of-love/|title=Julee Cruise: The Voice of Love|website=Pitchfork}}</ref> It also provided musical material for Lynch's ''[[Industrial Symphony No. 1]]'', in which Cruise performed while "floating" from a harness dozens of feet above a stage at the [[Brooklyn Academy of Music]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-lynch-rare-musical-industrial-symphony-no-1/|title=David Lynch's bizarre musical 'Industrial Symphony No. 1'|date=November 25, 2020|website=faroutmagazine.co.uk}}</ref>

The second, more significant project was the soundtrack to Lynch's ''Twin Peaks'', for which Badalamenti composed the original score. The song "[[Falling (Julee Cruise song)|Falling]]", which became the orchestral theme for the television series, caused a minor sensation, winning a [[Grammy Awards|Grammy]] at the [[33rd Annual Grammy Awards]] in 1991 for Best Pop Instrumental.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/grammy/popinst.htm|title=Rock On The Net: Grammy Awards: Best Pop Instrumental Performance|website=Rockonthenet.com|access-date=October 14, 2019}}</ref> The ''Twin Peaks'' [[soundtrack]], featuring Cruise on the songs "Into the Night" and "The Nightingale" as well as on the vocal version of "Falling", eventually went gold (500,000+ copies) in the U.S., a rare feat for a television soundtrack. Cruise made a number of appearances on ''Twin Peaks'' as a singer at a local bar, and was prominently featured in both the show's landmark pilot episode and the episode where Laura Palmer's murderer is revealed, as well as in 1992's ''[[Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me]]''. "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", the second single from ''Floating into the Night'', was released in 1990 and was also featured in an episode of ''Twin Peaks'' along with "The World Spins"; in the episode, several of the main female characters are shown lip-synching to "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://welcometotwinpeaks.com/music/homme-rockin-back-inside-my-heart/|title=Premiere: Julee Cruise's "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" By Chicago Duo Homme (Video)|date=November 10, 2015}}</ref>

Cruise reinterpreted and sang the theme song for an episode of the [[USA Network]] show ''[[Psych]]''.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/01/arts/television/01psych.html|title=A Series Homage Lovingly Wrapped in Plastic|first=Mike|last=Hale|newspaper=The New York Times |date=November 30, 2010}}</ref> The episode, "[[Dual Spires]]", was about a secluded town full of secrets and skeletons while they investigate the murder of a girl. It aired 20 years to the day after Laura Palmer's murderer was revealed.<ref name="auto1"/>

Cruise appeared on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' on May 12, 1990, filling in along with [[Spanic Boys]]<ref name=CT>{{cite web|title=Last-minute Gig On 'Saturday Night' Buoys Spanic Boys|date=August 9, 1990|access-date=June 12, 2022|last=Kot|first=Greg|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1990-08-09-9003060752-story.html|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref> on short notice when scheduled performer [[Sinéad O'Connor]] refused to appear on the same show as guest host [[Andrew Dice Clay]].<ref name=CT/><ref name=TG>{{cite web|work=[[The Guardian]]|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/may/16/angelo-badalamenti-julee-cruise-music-twin-peaks|title='We felt like we could do anything': Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise on the music of Twin Peaks|author=Harrison, Andrew|date=May 16, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|url=http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/season-15/episode/19-andrew-dice-clay-with-julee-cruise-64506|title=Andrew Dice Clay|season=15|network=[[NBC]]|number=19|date=May 12, 1990|series=[[Saturday Night Live]]}}</ref> Cruise performed "Falling".<ref name=TG/>

The following year, Cruise recorded a Lynch- and Badalamenti-produced cover of the [[Elvis Presley]] song "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" for the soundtrack of [[Wim Wenders]]'s ''[[Until the End of the World]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.listal.com/music/until-end-world-music-motion-picture-soundtrack-david-darling|title=Until The End Of The World: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack|website=Listal.com|access-date=October 14, 2019}}</ref> Afterward, Cruise maintained a relatively low profile until her second album, ''[[The Voice of Love (Julee Cruise album)|The Voice of Love]]'', was released in 1993.<ref name="auto"/> An instrumental version of "She Would Die for Love" was used as the main theme for the movie ''Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thevinylfactory.com/news/early-julee-cruise-vinyl-twin-peaks/|title=Early Julee Cruise recordings released on vinyl for the first time|first=Gabriela|last=Helfet|date=May 24, 2018}}</ref>

"She Would Die for Love" was also covered by alternative metal band [[Fantômas (band)|Fantômas]] on their ''[[The Director's Cut]]'' album as "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://muscleexpert.com/journal/fant%C3%B4mas-band-26c433|title=fantômas band|website=muscleexpert.com}}</ref>

Cruise's early collaborations with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch were closely related to Lynch's film work, which was reflected in the lyrics.<ref name=":0" /> For example, "Into the Night" begins with the whispered words "Now it's dark", a line which was repeatedly spoken by [[Frank Booth (Blue Velvet)|Frank Booth]], [[Dennis Hopper]]'s character, in ''Blue Velvet''. Lynch also photographed Cruise for the liner notes of ''Floating Into the Night'' and ''The Voice of Love'', and created the sculptures featured on the covers of both albums.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Russell|first=Calum|url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-lynch-10-greatest-musical-moments/|title=David Lynch's top 10 greatest musical moments|date=August 26, 2021|website=Faroutmagazine.co.uk}}</ref>

In 2017 she appeared in Part 17 of the new ''Twin Peaks'' season performing "The World Spins".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Matar|first=Joe|url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/twin-peaks-season-3-episodes-17-18-finale-review/|title=Twin Peaks season 3 episodes 17 & 18 finale review|date=September 5, 2017|website=Den of Geek}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Appleford|first=Steve|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-julee-cruise-twin-peaks-20170904-story.html|title=Julee Cruise returns to 'Twin Peaks': 'I will always be proud of this'|date=September 4, 2017|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref>

===Post-Badalamenti and Lynch===
Cruise's long-delayed third album, ''[[The Art of Being a Girl]]'', was released in 2002.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/juleecruise/albums/album/301631/review/5945114/the_art_of_being_a_girl|title=Rolling Stone album review|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=October 14, 2019}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> This was the first of her albums for which Badalamenti and Lynch did not produce or write any of the music. Instead, the music and lyrics for each of the songs were written by Cruise herself (with the exception of an updated version of the single "Falling"), and produced by [[Rick Strom (music producer)|Rick Strom]] and [[Mocean Worker]].

In 2011, Cruise released her fourth album ''[[My Secret Life (Julee Cruise album)|My Secret Life]]''.<ref name=":1" /> The album was a collaboration with DJ Dmitry (formerly of [[Deee-Lite]]) and contained a cover of [[Donovan]]'s "[[Season of the Witch (song)|Season of the Witch]]" and a cover (technically) of [[Hybrid (British band)|Hybrid]]'s "Fatal Beating" called "A Fatal Beating".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Louche|first=Liz|url=https://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/julee-cruise-twin-peaks-etc-releases-new-album-dj-dmitry-deee-lite-tours-kid-congo-powers-khan|title=Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks, etc.) releases new album with DJ Dmitry (of Deee-lite), tours with Kid Congo Powers & Khan|website=Tinymixtapes.com|access-date=October 14, 2019|date=March 14, 2011}}</ref>

===Other collaborations===
Cruise lent her vocals to works by a miscellaneous list of collaborators, mostly in [[electronic music]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /> She collaborated with [[Moby]] on his song "Drown Disco" which remains unreleased.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.passionweiss.com/2017/01/24/julee-cruise-best-songs/|title=Deep Space: The Best Julee Cruise Songs You Haven't Heard|website=passionweiss.com|date=January 24, 2017}}</ref>

She provided vocals and lyrics to several of the songs on ''[[Wide Angle]]'' (1999), the debut album by [[Welsh people|Welsh]] [[electronic music]] group [[Hybrid (British band)|Hybrid]], notably the [[nu skool breaks]] track "[[If I Survive]]".<ref name=":3" /> In 1999, she performed on two songs on ''Don't Panic!'' by DJ Silver, "Sweet Dreams" and "I'm Your Girl".<ref name=":3" />

The lyrics for many of these songs, such as "Body Dump", reflect Cruise's own interest in [[true crime]]. Their most successful collaboration, the classic "Say Good-bye", was a hit in Europe and elsewhere.<ref name=":3" />

She was featured in two songs on Supa DJ Dmitry's (formerly of [[Deee-Lite]]) album ''Scream of Consciousness'' (2000): "Don't Talk Me Down" (originally issued on TVT 7311-0 12") and a cover of [[David Bowie]]'s "Space Oddity".<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/julee-cruise-mn0000254972/credits|title=Julee Cruise | Credits|website=AllMusic}}</ref>

'''Veronica''' "'''Randy'''" '''Crawford''' (born February 18, 1952) is a retired American [[jazz]] and [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] singer. She has been more successful in Europe than in the United States, where she has not entered the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as a solo artist.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> However, she has appeared on the Hot 100 singles chart twice. The first time was in 1979 as a guest vocalist on [[The Crusaders (Houston group)|the Crusaders]]' top-40 hit "[[Street Life (The Crusaders song)|Street Life]]". She also dueted with [[Rick Springfield]] on the song "Taxi Dancing", which hit number 59 as the B-side of Springfield's hit "Bop Til You Drop". She has had five [[UK Singles Chart|top-20 hits]] in the UK, including her 1980 number-two hit, "[[One Day I'll Fly Away]]", as well as six UK top-10 albums. Despite her American nationality, she won Best British Female Solo Artist in recognition of her popularity in the UK at the 1982 [[Brit Awards]].<ref>{{cite news | url= https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/feb/22/brit-awards-winners-list-2012 | title= Brit awards winners list 2012: every winner since 1977 | work= The Guardian | access-date= 7 December 2016 | archive-date= January 5, 2016 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160105143310/http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/feb/22/brit-awards-winners-list-2012 | url-status= live }}</ref> In the late 2000s, she received her first two [[Grammy Awards|Grammy Award]] nominations.

Her follow-up [[solo (music)|solo]] efforts included "[[One Day I'll Fly Away]]" (1980) and "[[You Might Need Somebody]]" (1981), which became soul standards, and a cover of the [[Tony Joe White]] song, popularised by [[Brook Benton]], "[[Rainy Night in Georgia]]". The album, ''[[Secret Combination (Randy Crawford album)|Secret Combination]]'' (1981) stayed on the [[UK Albums Chart]] for sixty weeks, after which her profile dipped, despite a return to the UK [[Top 40|Top Ten]] with "[[Almaz (song)|Almaz]]" in 1986.<ref name="Guinness Rockopedia"/> In June 1981, Crawford also released another hit, "One Hello", from the album ''Windsong''. She continued to record for Warner Bros through the 1990s, but was unable to score either a big R&B hit or major [[Crossover (music)|crossover]] success.<ref name="AMG"/>

''Naked And True'' (1995) brought Crawford back to her roots: it included [[George Benson]]'s "[[Give Me the Night (George Benson song)|Give Me the Night]]", and confirmed her soul heritage by featuring [[Funkadelic]] members [[Bootsy Collins]], [[Bernie Worrell]] and the [[Fred Wesley]] Horns.<ref name="Guinness Rockopedia"/> She enjoyed her highest profile of the decade when rising starlet [[Shola Ama]] had a worldwide hit with her 1997 [[cover version|cover]] of "You Might Need Somebody".<ref name="Guinness Rockopedia"/>

Crawford recorded a live session with [[Joe Sample]] on July 24, 2007, at [[Abbey Road Studios]] for ''[[Live from Abbey Road]]''.

==Career==
===1970–1979===
After appearing in ''Femme Fatale'', County wrote the play ''World – Birth of a Nation (The Castration of Man)''. The play was directed by [[Anthony Ingrassia|Tony Ingrassia]] and promoted as a "homosexual fantasy." The play was set in a hospital and related to castration of the male sex. County played both Florence Nitingale and her sister Ethel Nitingale, and the play also featured [[Cherry Vanilla]] who played a nurse named Tilly Tons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jaynecounty.com/#!world---a-birth-of-a-nation/c1eny|title=World – Birth of a Nation|website=Jaynecounty.com|access-date=16 September 2015}}</ref>

Upon returning to New York, County appeared in another play, ''Island'' by [[Anthony Ingrassia|Tony Ingrassia]], again with Patti Smith.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UbHeAQAAQBAJ&q=jayne+county+tony+ingrassia+island&pg=PT88|title=Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk|date=1996|first1=Legs|last1=McNeil|first2=Gillian|last2=McCain|publisher=Grove/Atlantic |isbn=9780802192769|access-date=15 September 2015}}</ref>

In 1972, County formed ''Queen Elizabeth'', one of the pioneering [[proto-punk]] bands. County was signed to MainMan Artistes, [[David Bowie]]'s management firm, but no records were ever produced.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bernadicou |first1=August |url=https://www.lgbtqhp.org/jayne-county |title=Jayne County |website=The LGBTQ History Project |publisher=The LGBTQ History Project Inc |access-date=21 March 2021}}</ref> The company spent over $200,000 to film the 1974 stage show, "Wayne at the Trucks", but footage has never been released. The show featured numerous costume changes and some of County's raunchiest material. Eight songs from the show were released on the 2006 album "''Wayne County at the Trucks"'', on Munster Records. County claims the show was the inspiration for Bowie's ''[[Diamond Dogs]]'' tour.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fox|first=Katrina|url=http://www.katrinafox.com/jaynecounty.htm |title=Complete and Utter County |work=SX News |date=August 24, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060905194411/http://www.katrinafox.com/jaynecounty.htm|archive-date=September 5, 2006}}</ref> In particular, County maintains that the song "Queenage Baby" was a prototype for Bowie's song "[[Rebel Rebel]]", a claim which is supported by some rock critics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.punkglobe.com/waynecountytrucksreview.html |title=Punk Globe Magazine Online |publisher=Punkglobe.com |access-date=December 5, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web

Wayne County and The Backstreet Boys played regularly at [[CBGB]] and [[Max's Kansas City]], where County was also a DJ. In 1976, she appeared in the film ''[[The Blank Generation]]'', directed by [[Amos Poe]] and [[Ivan Kral]]. The film, the recording and the shows were the beginnings of what came to be known as [[punk rock]], and helped define the movement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://americanstudies.nd.edu/assets/91769/finney_thesis.pdf|title=A Blank Generation: Richard Hell and American Punk Rock|website=Americanstudies.nd.edu|author=Finney, Ross|date=2012|access-date=15 September 2015}}</ref>

In 1977, County moved to London, where the English punk scene was just emerging, and formed [[Wayne County & the Electric Chairs]]. County released the EP ''Electric Chairs 1977'', plus a single on [[Illegal Records]]. This was followed by "Fuck Off", recorded as a single for [[Safari Records]] and supported with a European tour. While in London, County met [[Derek Jarman]], who cast her as Lounge Lizard in the seminal punk film ''[[Jubilee (1978 film)|Jubilee]]'', which also starred [[Adam Ant]], [[Toyah Willcox]], [[Ian Charleson]], [[Nell Campbell|Little Nell]] and [[Pamela Rooke|Jordan]].<ref name=enc>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_NNmFiUnSmUC&q=jayne+county+jubilee&pg=PA2006-IA1449|title=The Encyclopedia of Popular Music|author=Larkin, Colin|publisher=Omnibus|date=2007|isbn=9780857125958|access-date=16 September 2015}}</ref> County and band are also featured in ''[[The Punk Rock Movie]]'', by [[Don Letts]], containing part of a 1977 performance at [[The Roxy (Covent Garden)|The Roxy]] club in London.

In December of 1978, the Wayne County song "Fucked by the Devil," was recorded by Jimi LaLumia and The Psychotic Frogs, and released the following year on their EP Typically Tasteless. It quickly sold 1,000 copies. Later on, LaLumia would work with County in a managerial position.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.classicrockhistory.com/jimi-lalumia-the-psychotic-frogs-impact-on-the-70s-punk-scene/|title=Jimi LaLumia & The Psychotic Frogs' Impact On The 70's Punk Scene|last=Scavieli|first=Tony|date=2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730231535/http://www.classicrockhistory.com/jimi-lalumia-the-psychotic-frogs-impact-on-the-70s-punk-scene/|archive-date=July 30, 2017|access-date=30 July 2017|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref>

Shortly after this, Wayne County and The Electric Chairs recorded their first, eponymous album, as well as another EP, "''Blatantly Offensive"'', which contained "Fuck Off" and "Toilet Love." After their touring in support of these releases was done, they recorded "''Storm the Gates of Heaven"''. Their next album, released in 1979, was "''Things Your Mother Never Told You"'', which featured several songs based on County's experiences in Germany. The album was produced by [[David Cunningham (musician)|David Cunningham]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/things-your-mother-never-told-you-mw0000837906|title=Jayne County & the Electric Chairs: Things Your Mother Never Told You|author=Thompson, Dave|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=16 September 2015}}</ref> After it was released, the band broke up and County, along with guitarist Eliot Michael, returned to the U.S.

When County moved to Berlin in 1979, she changed her stage name to Jayne County,<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TdSJAwAAQBAJ&q=jayne+county+born&pg=PA220|title=The Queer Encyclopedia of Music, Dance, & Musical Theater|author=Summers, Claude J.|date=2004|publisher=Cleis|isbn=9781573441988|access-date=15 September 2015}}</ref> publicly identifying as a woman for the first time. County's 1980 release of "''Rock and Roll Resurrection" (In Concert)'' on [[Attic Records]] was under this name. With Eliot Michael on guitar, Peter Jordan on bass, and Sammy Minelli on drums, the first live show under County's new name in Toronto sparked erroneous rumors of a sex-change operation.<ref name=enc />

===1980–present===
In 1983, County returned to New York where she appeared in the theatrical production ''Les Girls'' with [[Holly Woodlawn]]. Shortly thereafter she returned to London for the première of the German film ''[[City of Lost Souls (1983 film)|City of Lost Souls]],'' released on February 5, 1983, in which she played Leila and staying long enough to record a new album. Warren Heighway befriended County in [[Manchester]] and became her UK manager. He put a band together to record County's debut studio album ''[[Private Oyster]]''. The band members came from various rock bands from the Manchester area: Guitarist Richard Stuart Clarke, bassist Mark Pearson and drummer Bazz Creece. The album was recorded at Pennine Studios in [[Oldham]] and released on Revolver Records in 1986.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZHP-r9-eqdAC&q=jayne+county+private+oyster+tour&pg=PA289|date=2000|publisher=Miller Freeman|title=Alternative Rock|author=Thompson, Dave|isbn=9780879306076|access-date=15 September 2015}}</ref> To promote the album in the UK around this time County mainly used backing tapes.

1989 saw County release the mini album ''Betty Grables Legs'' and the single "Time Machine" on [[Jungle Records]], recorded at Station House Studios [[New Brighton, Merseyside|New Brighton]] with Mark Pearson on bass, Paul Wainwright on guitar and Kevin O'Brien on drums. Shows with this line-up put County back on the live circuit. Following widespread media attention, she returned to the U.S. where her manager for America, Jimi LaLumia, secured the future release of the album ''Goddess of Wet Dreams'' on the [[ESP-Disk discography|ESP DISK]] label; this became County's first U.S. release. Lalumia then secured a deal for County with the NY based label Royalty Records; Royalty released the UK based County compilation ''Rock & Roll Cleopatra'', and the subsequent studio album ''Deviation''. Royalty would later launch County's first and only major U.S. tour in support of the releases, while in Manchester Warren Heighway booked studio time and shows around the UK.

From 1990 onwards, many of County's earlier recordings were re-released, including the early Safari tracks, on a CD titled ''Rock & Roll Cleopatra''. She recorded the album ''Goddess of Wet Dreams'' at Twilight Studios in [[Salford]] in 1993, followed by ''[[Deviation (Jayne County album)|Deviation]]'' recorded at The Cutting Rooms in Crumpsall Manchester in the autumn of 1994. Later that year, she appeared in ''[[Wigstock: The Movie]]'' and released her autobiography ''Man Enough to Be a Woman'' published by [[Serpent's Tail]].<ref name="biography" /> A launch party was held at The Rock Garden [[Covent Garden]] London on June 13, 1995, to promote both the book and the ''Deviation'' album.

From 1989 to 1997, Jayne County & The Electric Chairs consisted of County on vocals, Mark Pearson on bass, Paul Wainwright on guitar, and Colin Rocks on drums. This lineup recorded and toured both the UK and Europe during this time, with Warren Heighway acting as agent and Manchester Management for his "Trace Element Corporation" until his death on July 19, 2005.

'''Antoniette Costa''' is an Italian-American singer-songwriter and co-founder of [[Humans of Fashion Foundation]]. Costa composed the song "Void of a Legend" which featured the beatboxer and cellist [[Kevin Olusola]].<ref name="cell"/> The song topped the Classical Crossover charts and was covered by French Band [[L.E.J.]] In 2016, Costa released "The Triptyq Sessions" as part of the musical trio [[Triptyq]], which featured [[Kevin Olusola|Olusola]] (beatboxing, cello) and [[Tara Kamangar]] (piano, violin). The music video for "Mr. Right"<ref name="mrright"/> produced by [[James Poyser]] featured cameos by [[Margot Robbie]] and Valentina Zelyaeva.

Costa has collaborated with or performed alongside artists such as [[The Roots]],<ref name="slum"/> [[Jazmine Sullivan]],<ref name="haiti"/> [[Bilal (American singer)|Bilal]], [[Eric Roberson]],<ref name="bio"/> and [[Carvin Haggins]]. She released her debut album ''[[Breakthru (Costa album)|Breakthru]]'' in March 2005,<ref name="xx"/> and has additionally recorded over a dozen singles with musicians such as [[Jazzyfatnastees]], [[Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra]],<ref name="bio"/> [[Kindred the Family Soul]] and [[Grammy Award]] winners [[James Poyser]]<ref name="gindie"/> and [[Questlove]].<ref name="zimbio"/>

She has performed and directed live in-studio recording sessions in [[New York City]] open to the public, drawing largely from [[Columbia University]]'s student body where Costa is a student. Called the "Track 14 Sessions," guest musicians have included members of [[The Roots]] and [[Nikki Jean]].<ref name="spec"/>

==Early life==
Antoniette Costa was raised in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]] and has dual [[United States citizenship|United States]] and [[Italian citizenship|Italian]] citizenship.<ref name="disco"/> She began writing songs in middle school,<ref name="cell"/> composing both the music and lyrics.<ref name="phenom"/> She sings and plays [[piano]], [[harp]], and [[guitar]].<ref name="phenom"/>

In 2004 Costa began attending [[Cornell University]]. She lived in the ''Just About Music'' residence and became lead singer for the band LR9. As a freshman, Costa was a part of the university's [[gospel music|gospel]] choir. She performed in [[Sage Chapel]] with the group for [[Yolanda King]].<ref name="bio"/> Costa transferred to the [[University of Pennsylvania]] as a sophomore after her aunt Lilly died during childbirth. She discovered 14 poems written by her aunt, and was inspired to spend time focused on songwriting and music in dedication. She currently studies at [[Columbia University]].<ref name="bio"/>

==Early career==

===''Breakthru'' (2005)===
Costa founded her own record label L.I.P. Label 14,<ref name="disco"/> and independently released her debut album ''[[Breakthru (Costa album)|Breakthru]]'' on March 1, 2005. Some of the tracks<ref name="xx"/> are piano ballads, while others are accompanied by a band.<ref name="phenom"/> Dedicated to her aunt, the album featured 12 songs that had been written from middle-school to college, including "Flown Away."<ref name="bio"/> The album ranked #1 on [[Amazon.com|Amazon]]'s Early Adopter Indie Music Chart and #69 on the Early Adopter AllMusic Chart.<ref name="bio"/>

===The Roots collaborations===
[[Dice Raw]], the Philadelphia-based [[rapper]] and [[A&R]] of [[The Roots]],<ref name="bio"/> discovered ''Breakthru'' and began working with Costa. Through Dice she began writing and rehearsing at Larry Gold's "The Studio" in Philadelphia,<ref name="spec"/> where she worked with drummer [[Questlove]], producer Khari "Ferrari" Mateen, Jon Jon McGlincey, and close friend [[Nikki Jean]].<ref name="bio"/>

Costa graduated as an English major from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. She was a columnist for ''[[The Daily Pennsylvanian]]''. She moved to [[New York City]] to work for [[MTV]] in their Business and Legal Affairs and Music and Media Licensing Departments.<ref name="disco"/> She is currently a [[Postbaccalaureate program|post-bac]] student at [[Columbia University]].<ref name="spec"/>

On November 5, 2008, Costa had a private showcase for her single "Ready to Make it Work"<ref name="slum"/> at the Le Poisson Rouge in [[New York City]].<ref name="zimbio"/> The event included DJ sets by [[Questlove]] and [[Samantha Ronson]].<ref name="cell"/>
Throughout 2010 Costa released a number of singles, including "We Were Meant To Be" and "Sinking Deeper." "We Were Meant to Be" was Costa's collaboration with co-writer [[Carvin Haggins]] and pianist [[James Poyser]], who has worked with [[Mariah Carey]].<ref name="gindie"/>

Richard Nichols, the manager of The Roots and executive producer of ''[[Lay It Down (Al Green album)|Lay It Down]]'' by [[Al Green]], took a liking to Costa's song "The Gift." He has since produced "The Gift" and "Ready to Make It Work." The track features musicians James Poyser, Questlove, [[Steve Jordan (musician)|Steve Jordan]] and [[Kindred the Family Soul]].<ref name="bio"/> [[Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra]] remixed "Ready to Make it Work."<ref name="bio"/>

===Track 14 Sessions===
In January 2011, Costa began hosting "Track 14 Sessions" at [[MSR Studios|Legacy Recording Studio]]<ref name="postbac"/> in [[Times Square]].<ref name="spec"/> The series opened up Costa's recording sessions to the public,<ref name="disco"/> and featured guest performances by [[Nikki Jean]] and Khari Mateen. According to Costa, the sessions are<ref name="spec"/> "meant to unveil what goes on in the recording studio ... It's an intimate live performance where people can hear raw vocals and instrumentation with amplification."<ref name="bio"/> "Track 14" refers to the train Costa takes to travel between New York City and Philadelphia, as she regularly rehearses and records in both cities.<ref name="spec"/> Costa also announced that she will release a live album based on the sessions.<ref name="bio"/>

==="Void of a Legend"===
In the summer of 2011 Costa met Kevin "K.O." Olusola through [[LCD Soundsystem]] frontman [[James Murphy (electronic musician)|James Murphy]],<ref name="ivya"/> who was a mutual friend at [[Wyclef Jean]]'s studio in [[New Jersey]].<ref name="cell"/> Olusola is a known as [[beat-boxing]] [[cellist]]. He and Costa collaborated on recording "Void of a Legend,"<ref name="ivya"/> which Costa wrote. It was released as a single on August 25, 2011, and debuted at No. 51 on the [[iTunes Store|U.S. iTunes Classical Music Chart]].<ref name="cell"/> A music video was released and featured on the [[CBS]] website.<ref name="cbs"/>

==Style==
Costa has been influenced by musicians such as [[Tracy Chapman]] and [[soul music|soul singer]] [[Jazmine Sullivan]].<ref name="cell"/> Many of her lyrical themes center around family, personal experiences, and literature,<ref name="phenom"/> and has stated "For me, writing a song is like bottling an emotion in its most potent form."<ref name="bio"/>

According to the ''[[Columbia Spectator]]'', Costa more closely identifies with gospel singers using their intuition, as compared to classically trained musicians. "I'm afraid that by taking a music theory class, I'm not going to be as creative," she said. "Not knowing what's right or wrong or what's typical composition-wise makes my music more free in the sense that I'm not trying to assume an ABA-structure or something like that."<ref name="spec"/>

'''Amy Correia''' (born September 12, 1968) is an American singer and songwriter who grew up in [[Lakeville, Massachusetts]].<ref name="CBS News">[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/19/eveningnews/main5999973.shtml CBS News]</ref>

==Biography==
Correia lived in [[Chinatown, Manhattan|New York's Chinatown]] after graduating from [[Barnard College]] and [[Tabor Academy (Massachusetts)]]. She worked in advertising, writing copy by day, while at night honing her songwriting and performing in clubs like [[Sin-é]] Cafe on the [[Lower East Side]]. A chance meeting with [[Blind Melon]] guitarist, Christopher Thorn, who'd stopped by the small club while on tour, led the two to make several recordings which helped Correia eventually sign with [[Virgin Records]].

While signed to Virgin Records, Correia recorded an album of songs at [[Daniel Lanois]]' Kingsway Studios in [[New Orleans]] with Christopher Thorn producing, but the album went unfinished. Correia left Virgin with her master recordings and signed with Capitol/EMI, which released her debut "Carnival Love" in 2000. Correia recorded the album "Lakeville" with her own money. It was produced by Mark Howard, who also has produced [[Willie Nelson]] and [[Lucinda Williams]]. The Canadian label, [[Nettwerk]], licensed and released it in 2004.

Her third album, "You Go Your Way", recorded in 2009 with producer/arranger/bassist Paul Bryan, was funded by her fans. The story was picked up by Anthony Mason for [[CBS News]], who featured Correia as one of a growing number of artists who are looking to their fans rather than a label to fund their albums.<ref name="CBS News"/>

Correia is the recipient of three 2012 Independent Music Awards.<ref>[http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima/2012/11th-annual-independent-music-awards-winners-announced/ "11th Annual Independent Music Awards Winners Announced!"] Independent Music Awards, May 2, 2012. Retrieved on September 4, 2013.</ref> "You Go Your Way" was named best folk/singer-songwriter album by a panel of influential artists and industry professionals. "You Go Your Way" also won the Vox Pop award, determined by fan voting, for best folk/singer-songwriter album. The single, "Love Changes Everything" won the Vox Pop award for best love song.

Correia tours throughout the U.S. and has performed with artists including Marc Cohn, Richard Thompson, [[John Hiatt]], Freedy Johnston, Emmylou Harris, Jason Crigler, Rebecca Martin, Josh Rouse, Duncan Sheik, Norah Jones, [[Bonnie Raitt]], Richard Julian, Jesse Harris, Ollabelle, Aimee Mann, Kenny White, Jonathan Spottiswoode, Everclear, [[The Dandy Warhols]], Allison Moorer, Tara McLean, Kendall Payne, Shannon McNally, Charlie Musselwhite, Jon Brion, Grant Lee Phillips, Dredd Scott, Julia Fordham, Jess Klein, Kerri Powers.

On March 25, 2022, Ms. Correia released a new EP of five songs entitled 'As We Are' produced by bassist Kimon Kirk. Americana UK premiered Correia's first official video for one of the songs from this record called [https://americana-uk.com/video-premiere-amy-correia-the-beggar "The Beggar”]. They wrote “It’s a powerful, emotionally connecting and effective style that works well alongside the changes in pace, the musical pauses and the moments when musical layers become more urgent. A compelling video, creatively well-thought out and well-produced, adds texture and meaning to the song.” Americana UK went on to describe ‘As We Are’ as “a reflective, introspective record, featuring well-crafted songs and thought-provoking lyrical content.”

''[[Under the Radar (magazine)|Under the Radar Magazine']]'' raved: "Amy Correia is an Americana poet, her plainspoken eloquence conjuring spirits of backroads overgrown with weeds and empty alleyways crowded with thickening shadows...''As We Are'' embodies the best of Correia’s artistic abilities, serving heaps of soul without sacrificing the sophistication of its form. The effort proves both romantic and devastating, Correia’s homegrown sensibilities feeling at once familiar and elusive, her band continuing alongside her in perfect harmony. Amy Correia is a treasure of her genre, still running strong, offering glints of sunlight through the haze, finding strange beauty even in the events of loss and destitution."

'''Jordan Corey''' (born September 28, 1990) is a California-based independent singer-songwriter.

== Early career ==
Originally from the [[San Francisco Bay Area]], Corey attended [[Los Gatos High School]]. During this time, she formed theJOEband, a classic rock cover band that won [[Clear Channel Communications|Clear Channel]]'s, [[KUFX|98.5 KFOX]] Last Band Standing competition in 2007, jumpstarting a career of live performances around the Bay Area.<ref>[https://www.myspace.com/joebandgroup theJOEband MySpace]</ref>

In 2008, Corey entered [[University of California, Santa Barbara]] (UCSB), and was a member of [[Alpha Phi]]. During which time she was the lead singer of SoulMinded, a soul/reggae/funk band that performed around the [[Santa Barbara, California|Santa Barbara]] and Los Angeles areas. With SoulMinded, she performed at UCSB's [[Extravaganza (music festival)|Extravaganza]] 2010 – an all-day music festival for the Santa Barbara community. Corey played alongside [[Drake (rapper)|Drake]], [[Chromeo]], and [[Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros]].<ref>[http://oletoday.com/wordpress/2010/05/extravaganza-2010-review-photos/ UCSB Extravaganza 2010 article] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100718101352/http://oletoday.com/wordpress/2010/05/extravaganza-2010-review-photos |date=July 18, 2010 }}</ref>

In 2009, Corey [[Sound recording and reproduction|recorded]] her debut [[extended play|EP]] in Los Angeles. The seven-song release featured notable producers and songwriters including [[The Stereotypes]] ([[Natasha Bedingfield]]/[[Mary J. Blige]]). The EP featured the track "Truth" and was a hit on social media.

== Currently ==
{{BLP unsourced section|date=December 2017}}
On August 25, 2015, Corey released her new album ''All That'' written and co produced by Jordan Corey.

In August 2015, the single "Focus" from the new album was released along with the official music video.

In 2014 Jordan Corey began a long journey of writing and co producing her new album "All That". The new music is a sonic fusion of soul and movement which she calls "future soul".Pulling inspiration from contemporaries like Blood Orange, Jessie Ware, and Frank Ocean, with an unmistakably pop/soul twist infusing 90s R&B and great lyricism.
Her newest project, All That, It is a playful reflection of life, love, and purpose.

Jordan Corey is currently featured as a New "Artist to Watch" by [[iHeartRadio]].

In 2011, Corey began working on her next release with producer Jason Hollis and songwriter/producer Dan Dixon (Dropsonic). The resulting tracks would become her second EP, ''Do Me Wrong''. Corey co-wrote all five of the EP's original songs—the sixth track being a reinvented version of [[The Rolling Stones]] classic, [[Miss You (The Rolling Stones song)|"Miss You."]]

Recorded in Los Angeles' Sonora Recorders, using vintage and analog gear, Corey's second release features a distinctive 1960s–1970s soul sound with an indie twist. ''Do Me Wrong'' also features saxophonist Lon Price (The Rolling Stones/[[Leonard Cohen]]) and was mixed by five-time [[Grammy Award]] winner, [[Matt Hyde]].

''Do Me Wrong'' was released in March 2012. The single "Tonight" from the EP hit [[Hot AC (radio network)|Hot AC]] Radio the week of April 22, 2012.

Invigorated by the response to Do Me Wrong, Corey/Dixon/Hollis went back into the studio to work on a follow-up record. The three-song EP was initially written as part of a larger work, but after recording the tracks, Corey felt that the songs stood on their own; each a pillar in her artistic voyage.

On March 12, 2013, Corey took to the Internet asking fans to financially back her sophomore release, ''Trilogy''. The project would be a 3-song EP accompanied by a 3-part video series that Corey would conceptualize and produce with a team of filmmakers. 30 days later, Corey independently raised over $16,000 for the projects' release and began an almost yearlong journey.

''Trilogy'' EP was released in October 2013.

Following the EP, the accompanying 3-part video series were released:
* Part I: Final Goodbye – October 22, 2013
* Part II: Hold Me Under – November 5, 2013
* Part III: Here Right Now – November 19, 2013

'''Imani Francesca Coppola''' (born April 6, 1978)<ref name=birthdate>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/ImaniCoppola Imani Coppola profile] ''TV Tropes''</ref> is an American singer-songwriter and violinist. Her debut single "[[Legend of a Cowgirl]]" reached the top 40 on the ''Billboard'' [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]] and the [[UK Singles Chart]] in 1997. Her debut album, ''[[Chupacabra (album)|Chupacabra]]'', released by [[Columbia Records]], was praised by critics and appeared on the US [[Heatseekers Albums]] chart. In 2001, Coppola appeared as a guest artist on the Baha Men single "[[You All Dat]]", which broke the top 10 in Australia and gave Coppola her second entry on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 to date.

Coppola released several independently recorded albums in the early 2000s and starred in the musical film ''The Singing Biologist'', for which she also wrote the music. In 2007, she was signed to [[Ipecac Records]], and the same year released ''[[The Black & White Album]]'', which received favorable reviews from music critics and marked a comeback for Coppola. The following year, she formed the pop/R&B duo [[Little Jackie]] with programmer [[Adam Pallin]]. Their debut single, "[[The World Should Revolve Around Me]]", reached the top 40 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, was used as the theme for the [[VH1]] reality TV series ''[[New York Goes to Hollywood]]'', and peaked at number 90 on the ''Billboard'' [[Pop 100]] airplay chart. The duo's debut album, ''[[The Stoop (album)|The Stoop]]'', was released by [[S-Curve Records|S-Curve]] in 2008, but peaked outside of the top 100 in the United Kingdom, and the duo were dropped from the label. Following ''The Stoop'', Coppola released two more solo records: ''The Glass Wall'', in 2012, and ''Hypocrites'', in 2017. In addition to her solo work, Coppola has recorded two further albums as part of Little Jackie: ''[[Made4TV]]'', in 2011, and ''[[Queen of Prospect Park]]'', in 2014.

=== 2017–present: ''Hypocrites'' ===
On July 21, 2017, Coppola premiered a new single, "Just Feels Good", via [[Yahoo! Music]]. Coppola had originally written the song with [[Rachel Platten]] in mind, but after Platten passed on it, Coppola decided to record it herself.<ref name="yahoo1" /> The music video was shot at [[Coney Island]]'s annual [[Mermaid Parade]].<ref name="yahoo1" /> ''Hypocrites'', Coppola's twelfth studio album, which was crowdfunded using PledgeMusic, was released on the same day as the release of "Just Feels Good".<ref>{{cite web|last1=Check|first1=Sound|title=Electro-R&B Little Jackie's Imani Coppola Lets Her Hair Down in "Just Feels Good"|url=http://afropunk.com/2017/07/little-jackies-imani-coppola-lets-hair-just-feels-good/|website=Afropunk|date=21 July 2017 |publisher=Afropunk, Inc.|access-date=9 November 2017}}</ref><ref name="yahoo1">{{cite web|last1=Geller|first1=Wendy|title=Video Premiere: Imani Coppola Debuts 'Just Feels Good'|url=https://www.yahoo.com/music/video-premiere-imani-coppola-debuts-just-feels-good-170442762.html|website=Yahoo!

On September 25, 2017, Coppola released the album's second single, "Mixed Nut". Coppola stated that the song "poke(s) fun at some current social trends, such as speaking in a manner that makes it sound like you're always asking a question when you're actually making a statement. The term for it is 'up speak,' and I find it to be incredibly irritating even though I am sometimes guilty of doing it. Another pet peeve of the zeitgeist is this fixation people have with claiming not to be 'one to judge.' Please, if you are a human being, you judge."<ref name="yahoo2" /> The accompanying music video filmed and edited by Vonesper Studios was shot in her apartment using her artwork as backdrops and premiered on Yahoo!Music.<ref name="yahoo2">{{cite web|last1=Geller|first1=Wendy|title=Video premiere: Imani Coppola gets nutty with 'Mixed Nut'|url=https://www.yahoo.com/music/video-premiere-iman-coppola-gets-nutty-mixed-nut-170906434.html|website=Yahoo!|date=25 September 2017 |access-date=7 November 2017}}</ref>

== Little Jackie ==
{{main|Little Jackie}}
In 2007, Coppola was signed to [[S-Curve Records]] as part of the duo [[Little Jackie]], with whom she collaborated with producer and multi-instrumentalist [[Adam Pallin]]. Coppola sees Little Jackie as an opportunity to get back into pop and also to generate the income she needs to follow her dream of developing artists herself.<ref name=PCOLGlasgow>{{cite web|url=http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/tv-showbiz-news/music-news/2008/07/27/world-set-to-revolve-around-little-jackie-78057-20672464/ |title=Glasgow Sunday Mail.

Speaking in July 2008 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of ''[[Blues & Soul]]'', Coppola stated: "Whereas, in my opinion, Imani Coppola is a REAL artist, Little Jackie represents my 'POPULAR artist' side [...] And to me this is probably my last attempt at becoming a superstar! If it blows up — WONDERFUL! If I become a superstar — FANTASTIC!... And if I don't, I guess I'll stay very happy just being a crazy-lady artist — making art every day and having that be my food!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/316/yeah_jackie/ |title=Little Jackie interview by Pete Lewis, 'Blues & Soul' August 2008 |publisher=Bluesandsoul.com |access-date=2010-05-20}}</ref>

== Musical style ==
Coppola says her songwriting is fused through a "pop sensibility".<ref name=PCOLAmplifier/> She indicates that her tastes and musical influences are diverse,<ref name=PCOLSuicide/> including classical,<ref name=PCOLGlasgow/> which she acknowledges can be a problem in an industry that wants its artists to be clearly defined.<ref name=PCOLSuicide/> Coppola decided to write in whatever genre she wanted.<ref name=PCOLSuicide/> She describes her focus on ''The Black and White Album'' as "more experimental, more punk, more rock".<ref name="PCOLGlasgow"/>

Coppola uses a different process when she is songwriting for herself from when she is songwriting for another artist or writing on speculation.<ref name=PCOLSuicide/> She says, "My brain changes, my thought processes, my body language changes, the way I work changes....; When you do work for other artists, it's definitely more of a job and it requires a lot of tools."<ref name=PCOLSuicide/> Coppola commented, "When I saw the [[Spice Girls]] come out, I was like: I could do anything! I think that might be the most honest thing I've ever said in my life. They were the only people rapping and singing in a group that had all different varieties of things. I think I am a result of the Spice Girls."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Musician Imani Coppola Talks Frankly About Race, Gender, and Experimental Music|url=https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/musician-imani-coppola-talks-frankly-about-race-gender-and-experimental-music|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Bitch Media|language=en}}</ref>

==Career==
Copeland was born in [[Harlem]], [[New York City]], United States. She is the daughter of Texas [[blues]] guitarist and singer [[Johnny Copeland]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/05.19.04/bluesfest-0421.html|title=Metroactive Music - Santa Cruz Blues Festival|website=Metroactive.com|access-date=6 January 2015}}</ref> She began singing at an early age and her first public performance was at the [[Cotton Club#Other "Cotton Clubs"|Cotton Club]] when she was about 10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://americanamusicshow.com/episode266 |title=Shemekia Copeland sings about what's going on (Ep266) - Americana Music Show Podcast |website=Americanamusicshow.com |date=2015-09-29 |access-date=2015-10-10}}</ref> She began to pursue a singing career in earnest at age 16. When her father's health began to decline, he took Shemekia on tour as his opening act, which helped establish her name on the blues circuit. Copeland graduated in 1997 from [[Teaneck High School]] in [[Teaneck, New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-30986533.html|title=WHERE STARS ARE BORN -- NORTH JERSEY NURTURES ITS ASPIRING ARTISTS |access-date=July 3, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110516171812/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-30986533.html |archive-date=May 16, 2011 }}</ref>

She landed a [[recording contract]] with [[Alligator Records]], which issued her debut [[album]], ''Turn the Heat Up!'' in 1998, following it up with a tour of the blues festival circuit in America and Europe. Her second album, ''[[Wicked (Shemekia Copeland album)|Wicked]]'', was released in 2000 and featured a duet with one of her heroes, [[Ruth Brown]]. It earned her three [[Blues Music Award]]s.

The follow-up record, ''Talking to Strangers'', was produced by [[Dr. John]], and in 2005 she released ''The Soul Truth'', produced by [[Steve Cropper]].

In 2008, Copeland signed with Telarc International,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telarc.com|title=Telarc|website=Telarc.com|access-date=6 January 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140318010504/http://www.telarc.com/|archive-date=18 March 2014}}</ref> and released her first album, ''Never Going Back'', with that label in February 2009. She won the "Rising Star - Blues Artist" in ''[[Down Beat]]'' magazine's critics poll announced in the December 2009 issue.

Copeland participated in the Efes Pilsen Blues Festival in 2009. On June 12, 2011 at the 2011 [[Chicago Blues Festival]], Copeland was presented [[Koko Taylor]]'s crown, and officially given the honor as the new "Queen of the Blues" by Koko Taylor's daughter, Cookie Taylor.

In 2013, Copeland was nominated for a [[Blues Music Award]] in the Contemporary Blues Female Artist' category.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blues.org/#ref=bluesmusicawards_nominees|title=Blues Music Awards Nominees - 2013 - 34th Blues Music Awards|website=Blues.org|access-date=2013-03-21}}</ref> She won the title in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blues411.com/2016-blues-music-awards-winner-list/ |title=2016 Blues Music Awards Winner List |website=Blues411.com |access-date=2016-05-23}}</ref>

== With Beasto Blanco ==
In 2012, bassist Chuck Garric formed a band with Chris “Brother” Latham, Beasto Blanco, and Garric invited Cooper to perform backing vocals on some songs on their first album, ''Live Fast Die Loud'' (2013).<ref name=":17" /> She was reluctant at first as she had promised herself never to be in a band because she did not think she was a good singer.<ref name=":42" /> Garric told her "you’re a really good actress so just act like you're a singer", and after going into the studio she discovered that she could sing to her satisfaction.<ref name=":42" /> Originally the plan had been for her to be a back-up singer, but during the recording process Garric increasingly featured her singing.<ref name=":16" /> When Beasto Blanco decided to go on a bar tour of Europe, Cooper decided to properly join the group. While she had previously told herself she would never be in a band, she realized "I want to be in ''this'' band.

Spears agreed to make a cameo appearance in her first music video.<ref>{{cite web| title = Kristy Lee Signs In Triplicate with Arista, Britney, and BMI| url = http://www.bmi.com/news/entry/233653| work = BMI| date = August 7, 2001| access-date = February 16, 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080302042628/http://www.bmi.com/news/entry/233653| archive-date = March 2, 2008| url-status = live}}</ref> However, RCA placed Cook and other younger artists on hold and then dropped her.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kristylee.net/about.htm|title=RMG: Corporate Bio|date=September 27, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927052547/http://www.kristylee.net/about.htm|access-date=2020-04-03|archive-date=2013-09-27}}</ref>

Cook then moved to [[Dallas, Texas]], in an attempt to pursue her career and to gain more experience. She began [[Model (person)|modeling]] and appeared in commercials. In 2005, Ren-Hen Records released her first album, ''Devoted''. During this time, Kristy Lee performed for two years at Cowboy's nightclub in [[Arlington, Texas]], singing eight songs per night with the band Six Shooter.

In 2007, Cook returned to Selma, Oregon, to prepare for the ''American Idol'' audition. To raise funds for her audition and travel expenses, she sold her "really good" barrel horse. She had hoped to earn enough money to repurchase her horse on her return. However, the night she was eliminated, she commented that the person to whom she had sold the horse was unwilling to sell it back.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gactv.com/gac/ar_artists_a-z/article/0,,gac_26057_5939617,00.html |title=Artists : Artists a to Z : Kristy Lee Cook Biography : Great American Country |access-date=2012-11-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130131152835/http://www.gactv.com/gac/ar_artists_a-z/article/0,,GAC_26057_5939617,00.html |archive-date=2013-01-31 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==''American Idol''==
===Overview===
[[File:Kristy Lee Cook American Idol.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Cook performing during the American Idols Live! Tour 2008.]]
Cook auditioned for ''American Idol'' in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]], by singing "[[Amazing Grace]]". All three judges liked her voice and sent her straight through to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]]. In Hollywood, her first song did not impress the judges. For her second and final chance, she sang "Amazing Grace" again; she was then selected as one of the top 24 contestants in the semi-finals. She was the first female performer of the season and sang "Rescue Me". The judges did not care for her performance but gave her props since she was the first of the night and she had [[bronchitis]]. On March 12, Cook was placed in the bottom three with [[Syesha Mercado]] and [[David Hernandez (singer)|David Hernandez]]. She was declared safe. On March 19, she was placed in the bottom three again with [[Carly Smithson]] and [[Amanda Overmyer]], but she survived again, ensuring herself a spot in the ''American Idol'' Top 10 Concert Tour for the coming summer. Once again, on April 2, she was placed in the bottom three with her two roommates, [[Ramiele Malubay]] and [[Brooke White]]. Malubay was eliminated.

==Post-''Idol'' career, 2008-2009==
After ''American Idol'', Cook was interviewed on ''[[The Ellen DeGeneres Show]]'', ''[[Live with Regis and Kelly]]'' and on [[WNYW]] in [[New York City]]. She performed with the other top 10 finalists on the ''[[American Idols LIVE! Tour 2008]]'' which ran from July 1 to September 13, 2008. She sang "Squeezin' the Love Outta You" ([[Redmon and Vale]]), "[[God Bless the USA]]" ([[Lee Greenwood]]), which she performed on Top 10 night during the season, and "Cowgirls" ([[Kerry Harvick]]). In [[Toronto]], she replaced "God Bless the USA" with "[[Anyway (Martina McBride song)|Anyway]]" ([[Martina McBride]]), which she had performed on Top 8 night during the season.

Cook announced on June 29, 2008, that she had once again signed with [[Arista Nashville]] and with 19 Recordings. On August 12 of that year, "[[15 Minutes of Shame]]" was released as the first single for Cook's upcoming studio album. It entered the ''Billboard'' [[Hot Country Songs]] charts at number 58 a week before its release and peaked at number 28. Her album, ''[[Why Wait (album)|Why Wait]]'', released on September 16, 2008, was produced by the Nashville singer-songwriter [[Brett James]].<ref>[http://blogs.usatoday.com/entertainment/2008/06/cooks-15-minute.html?csp=34] {{dead link|date=April 2020}}</ref>

==Broken Bow Records==
On August 4, 2010, it was announced Cook had signed with [[Broken Bow Records]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Pat Gallagher |url=http://www.theboot.com/2010/08/05/kristy-lee-cook-broken-bow-records/ |title=Kristy Lee Cook Joins Broken Bow Records |publisher=The Boot |date=November 1, 2010 |access-date=April 29, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120520172552/http://www.theboot.com/2010/08/05/kristy-lee-cook-broken-bow-records/ |archive-date=May 20, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On October 16, 2012, Cook's first single from Broken Bow Records, "Airborne Ranger Infantry", was released.<ref name="auto"/> She was inspired to write the songs after reading poems written by her father, Larry Cook, about his experiences in the Army during the [[Vietnam War]]. "We took lines directly from the poems and put them into the song," Kristy said. "I wouldn't have written the song if my dad hadn't written those poems, because he doesn't really talk about much. The cool thing is that it gives perspective to someone who doesn't know what it's like to know how they feel and what they're experiencing. It was really important for us to make sure it was right, and exactly what they would say."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.theboot.com/2012/10/12/kristy-lee-cook-airborne-ranger-infantry |title=Kristy Lee Cook, 'Airborne Ranger Infantry' -- Exclusive Song Premiere - the Boot |website=The Boot |access-date=2012-11-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114225924/http://www.theboot.com/2012/10/12/kristy-lee-cook-airborne-ranger-infantry |archive-date=2012-11-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Cook's second Broken Bow single, "Wherever Love Goes", was released to country radio on August 12, 2013. The song was originally recorded by Cook as a duet with labelmate [[Randy Houser]] on his 2013 album ''[[How Country Feels]]''; the single version changes the vocal parts from the original to make Cook more prominent. Cook has been released from her record deal with Broken Bow Records and her album believed to have been scrapped.{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}

==Early life==
The youngest of 12 children, Cook was born in [[Wildwood, Florida]]. Her mother, Joyce, played [[mandolin]] and guitar and performed on radio and local television. Her father, Thomas, also played string instruments. He honed his skills playing upright bass in the [[Atlanta Federal Penitentiary]] prison band while serving time for running [[moonshine]]. In prison he learned welding; Cook would name her 2010 album ''[[Welder (album)|Welder]]''.<ref name="NPR01">[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126910286 "Elizabeth Cook: Daughter Of A 'Welder'"] interview/report by [[All Things Considered]] host [[Melissa Block]], May 18, 2010. Retrieved May 18, 2010.</ref> After his release from prison, he and Joyce began playing together in local country bands. Elizabeth was onstage with them when she was 4, singing material like songwriter John Schweers' "[[Daydreams About Night Things]]", a 1975 hit for [[Ronnie Milsap]].<ref name="bbc.co.uk">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00sy7f0 |title=BBC Radio 2 - Bob Harris Country, Elizabeth Cook in session |website=Bbc.co.uk |date=July 8, 2010 |access-date=September 16, 2016}}</ref> She formed a band when she was 9.

Cook graduated from [[Georgia Southern University]] in 1996 with dual degrees in Accounting and Computer Information Systems.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.elizabeth-cook.com/bio.html | title=Elizabeth Cook Bio | work=Elizabeth-Cook.com | access-date=August 23, 2021 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226060537/http://elizabeth-cook.com/bio.html | archive-date=February 26, 2009}}</ref>

==Career==
Cook moved to [[Nashville, Tennessee]] in 1996 to work for [[PricewaterhouseCoopers]]. She got a publishing deal and ended up sleeping on the floor of the publishing house for three years while she worked on honing her craft, with ''The Blue Album'', which contained demo recordings she had made in Nashville, finally being released in 2000. She cut her major-label debut, 2002's ''[[Hey Y'all]]'', for [[Atlantic Records]]. ''Hey Y'all'' wasn't a success. After taking a shot at co-writing, Cook asked to be released from her contract. A proposed deal with [[Sony Records]] subsequently fell through.

She released 2004's ''[[This Side of the Moon]]'', which was eventually picked up by record label [[Thirty Tigers]]. It received positive reviews from ''[[The New York Times]]''<ref>{{cite news | url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9503EFDC1430F931A15751C1A9639C8B63&scp=1&sq=%22This%20Side%20Of%20The%20Moon%22%20cook&st=cse | title=CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK: Stealth Sounds That Missed the Charts but Merit a Hearing | first=Kelefa | last=Sanneh | author-link=Kelefa Sanneh | work=[[The New York Times]] | date=December 22, 2005 | access-date=May 18, 2010}} E.

Produced by [[Rodney Crowell]], ''[[Balls (Elizabeth Cook album)|Balls]]'', which included a song Cook had written with songwriter [[Melinda Schneider]], "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman", was released in May 2007. ''Welder'' featured appearances by [[Dwight Yoakam]], Crowell and [[Buddy Miller]].

Cook toured in America, as well as in South Korea, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Poland, France and the UK. She appeared at the [[Cambridge Folk Festival]], the Maverick Festival and the Borderline in London. She has continued to play the [[Grand Ole Opry]], making over 400 appearances—the most by a non-member of the radio show.

She toured the UK in support of ''Welder'', performing 18 dates with her then-husband, guitarist and songwriter Tim Carroll, and her upright bass player [[Bones Hillman]], formerly of [[Midnight Oil]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bobharris.org/pages/playlist.asp?progcode=c08072010 |title=Bob Harris playlist for Bob Harris Country - 8 July 2010 |website=Bobharris.org |access-date=September 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160925003612/http://www.bobharris.org/pages/playlist.asp?progcode=c08072010 |archive-date=September 25, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

At the suggestion of [[Paul Shaffer]], Cook was invited in August 2011 to be a guest on ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'', where she discussed satellite radio and growing up in Florida. She considered starring in a [[CBS]] sitcom about a single mother whose life is disrupted by the arrival of her criminal father, but the show never came to fruition. In June 2012 Cook returned to the ''Late Show'' to perform with [[Jason Isbell]]. ''[[American Songwriter]]'' notes that they sang covers of [[Townes Van Zandt]]'s "[[Pancho and Lefty]]" and "Tecumseh Valley".<ref>{{cite web|title=Elizabeth Cook and Jason Isbell Cover Townes Van Zandt|url=http://www.americansongwriter.com/2012/06/elizabeth-cook-and-jason-isbell-cover-townes-van-zandt/|work=[[American Songwriter]]|date=June 15, 2012|access-date=June 18, 2012}}</ref> On March 14, 2013, she appeared a third time on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'' and was interviewed by Letterman. She worked extensively with [[Carlene Carter]] on Carter's tenth studio album, ''[[Carter Girl]]''. On June 2, 2014, she appeared a fourth time on ''Late Show with David Letterman'', performing [[Lou Reed]]'s "[[Pale Blue Eyes]]".

In 2016, Cook released her sixth studio album, ''Exodus of Venus''.

Starting in 2020, Cook began hosting ''Upstream with Elizabeth Cook'', a fishing show on the [[Circle (TV network)|Circle network]].

On September 11, 2020, she released the album ''Aftermath''.

She can also be heard on select episodes of the [[Adult Swim]] series ''[[Squidbillies]]'', where she voices Tammi.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

==Radio show==
Cook hosts the mid-day radio show "Elizabeth Cook's Apron Strings" on the [[Sirius XM radio]] station [[Outlaw Country (Sirius XM)|Outlaw Country]]. She has been nominated for two Ameripolitan Music Awards for her radio work.

==Personal life==
After ''Welder'' was released, she and Carroll divorced,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-bialas/show-and-tell-it-like-it_b_5808116.html|title=Show and Tell It Like It Is: Elizabeth Cook Pulls Some Apron Strings in Nashville|first=Michael|last=Bialas|website=[[HuffPost]] |date=September 12, 2014}}</ref> and she lost her family farm. In addition, her father, mother, brother, mother-in-law and brother-in-law died during this period. She cancelled an upcoming tour and entered rehab.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/06/23/elizabeth-cook-triumphs-over-tragedy/85863360/|title=Elizabeth Cook triumphs over tragedy|website=[[The Tennessean]] }}</ref>

Cook later said, "I needed some help. I did not feel like rehab was what I needed and I tried to desperately convince some key people around me that in that moment I needed intensive therapy and I probably needed medication. They cancelled the tour and said you can't go because we don't trust the state that you're in. You're saying you're not addicted to anything and you're saying you don't have an eating disorder but we don't know that". She was critical of the treatment she received during rehab.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}

[[Patty Griffin]] sang background vocals on the track. Opening shows for [[Heartless Bastards]], [[A.A. Bondy]], [[Alejandro Escovedo|Escovedo]], [[Chris Isaak]], [[Shawn Colvin]], [[Ben Kweller]], [[Tift Merritt]], [[Leo Kottke]], [[Charlie Mars]], [[Ryan Bingham]] and others followed. Cook is currently on tour with [[Lucinda Williams]] (summer 2012).

The album was produced by [[Craig Street]] and featured a band including Chris Bruce, [[Meshell Ndegeocello]], [[Jonathan Wilson (musician)|Jonathan Wilson]], and [[David Garza (musician)|David Garza]].

=== Comedy, film, and television ===
In the hopes of breaking into television, Colella began her career as a comedian as a way to get noticed. That, as well as the rock band, helped build her on stage confidence. She started doing observational humor stand-up in Southern California while pursuing her MFA. During that time, she performed in places such as the [[Laugh Factory]] and [[The Comedy Store]] in Hollywood. She has said that success and failure are equally valuable instructors.<ref>{{harvnb|Ferrao|2021}}, at 4:55 min.</ref><ref name="sfchron"/>

She had her television debut in 2003 co-hosting the game show ''Can You Tell?'' with [[Tony Rock]] on [[Oxygen (TV network)|Oxygen]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Jenn-Colella-The-Girl-Behind-the-Bull-Nov-7-20041026 |title=Jenn Colella: The Girl Behind the Bull, Nov. 7 |author=BWW News Desk |date=2004-10-26 |website=broadwayworld.com |access-date=2022-02-07}} {{cite AV media |people=Tony Rock, host |title=Dave LaBarge, safecracker on a game show "Can You Tell?" back in 2003 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZp9SBfUEoU |access-date=2022-02-23}}</ref> Her next appearance was on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] series ''[[Cashmere Mafia]]'', where she was in a same-sex relationship and discussed their starting a family. That show aired January 2008, six weeks before she opened in ''Beebo Brinker''. Since then she has guest starred in several other television shows. In 2019, the year she left ''Come From Away'', there were three for [[CBS]], ''[[The Code (American TV series)|The Code]]'', ''[[Madam Secretary (TV series)|Madam Secretary]]'', and ''[[Evil (TV series)|Evil]]''. Colella was also part of the ''PBS'' ''Tribute to Stephen Sondheim'' with the [[New York Philharmonic]] at Lincoln Center in 2010,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://castalbums.org/recordings/Sondheim-The-Birthday-Concert-2010-Various-Artists/19495 |title=Sondheim: The Birthday Concert > Various Artists |website=castalbums.org |access-date=2022-03-27}}</ref> and the initial ''Broadway in Concert: An Evening with Lerner and Loewe'', again for PBS, in March 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://playbill.com/article/jenn-colella-jose-llana-aisha-jackson-more-will-sing-in-pbs-celebration-of-alan-jay-lerner-and-frederick-loewe |title=Jenn Colella, Jose Llana, Aisha Jackson, More Will Sing in PBS Celebration of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe |first=Andrew |last=Gans |date=2022-01-20 |website=playbill.com |access-date=2022-02-16}}</ref>

===Process===
When Colella works on a project, she says she treats it as a hit and believes in it completely. But whether it is a hit is not the point, for her as an actor, it is to do her best work for as long as the show runs. She believes actors get hired not only because of talent, but because of their energy. She feels the energy that an actor brings into the room must be practiced throughout the day, working toward the foundation of present moment awareness. To her, "acting is the easy part, staying in the present moment in her work is harder and requires focus."<ref>{{harvnb|Davenport|2020}}, at 15 min. {{harvnb|Stage Door Medium|2021}}, at 25:58 min.</ref> She believes that acting is the same whether on Broadway or in a local theater.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 24:04 min.</ref>

She says there are only two things over which an actor has control—preparation and attitude. Her work ethic is to arrive at rehearsal with lines memorized and music learned. She works to understand what is going on and to develop ideas about her character. She thinks a production staff wants to trust that the actor will do the work and not appear for rehearsal unprepared. They also want to know the actor will be a team player, someone they will want to work with during a development cycle that may take several years.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 26:13 min. {{harvnb|Broadwaycom|2017}}, at 8:08 min.</ref>

Colella says she enjoys rehearsing more than performing. She has indicated she feels sad after opening night, when the creative team is not there anymore, as it is like mom and dad are gone. They are no longer there to guide and approve the work being done. She loves the energy and approval received from an audience, but the safety, community, and feeling of family within rehearsal is not the same.<ref>{{harvnb|Davenport|2020}}, at 18:50 min. {{harvnb|Seales|2021}}, at 14:21 min.</ref>

She treats signing-in at the theater as a contract between herself and the others in the company to be her best self while there, and knows practicing kindness requires attention.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 26:13 min.</ref> She does not mark{{efn|group=nb| Marking is a singing technique employed to help save the voice from overwork.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://rising-stars-productions.com/vocal-health-part-ii-marking/ |title= Vocal Health, Part II: Marking |first= |last= |date=2018-11-02 |website=Rising Stars Productions |access-date=2022-03-31}}</ref>}} in rehearsal, and has spent her career singing like it's the last time she'll sing.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 11:04 min.</ref>

Coming to New York, she was told by people she respected to stay in the closet, as it might cause casting problems.<ref>{{harvnb|BroadwayCon 2018}}, at 6:38 min.</ref><ref name="out interview"/><ref name="SDDish"/> After playing a lesbian in ''Beebo Brinker,'' though, she was getting more attention and media questions, and finally felt it was time to come out. Colella has said, "being a queer woman in the Broadway community is something I'm very proud of."<ref>{{harvnb|BroadwayCon 2018}}, at 9:20 min.</ref>

[[Manoel Felciano]], a co-star of Colella's in the movie ''Uncertainty,'' wrote the song "Jenn Colella" about her. The second line reads, "''But I suspect, Jenn Colella, if my name were Isabella, then my clumsy overtures might stand a chance.''"<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Felciano, Manoel (songwriter) |date=2013-02-25 |title=Manoel Felciano - "Jenn Colella" |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgAVni1hSH8 |access-date=2022-03-09}}</ref>

After having seen ''Phantom of the Opera'' on Broadway, she got a mask tattooed on her right arm to show her dedication to the craft. Her first Broadway show, ''Urban Cowboy,'' was in the theater next to the ''Phantom'' theater.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2003-03-28 |title=Urban Cowboy - TheaterMania.com |url=https://www.theatermania.com/news/urban-cowboy_3298/ |access-date=2024-07-07 |language=en-US}}</ref> Colella then got a star tattooed to represent ''Urban Cowboy'' and to cover the mask.{{efn|group=nb| The ''Phantom'' mask tattoo can be seen, although not clearly, in the photograph accompanying a 1999 article<ref name="GibCats"/> in ''[[The State (newspaper)|The State]]'' newspaper showing the Sol Divers rock band, of which she was a member.}} A star represented guidance and light to her.<ref name="NPR"/> Two other visible tattoos, on the backs of her upper arms, are "Kindness" and "Gratitude," which she got while in ''Come From Away''.<ref>{{Cite instagram |user=jenncolella |postid=BfzdC-rlWn5 |title=Kindness and Gratitude |date=2018-03-01}}</ref>

While working on ''Come From Away,'' Colella became friends with [[Beverley Bass]], the airline captain she portrayed in the show. They first met in San Diego at James' Place, a restaurant across from the La Jolla Playhouse, after the last preview performance. They had an immediate kinship.<ref>{{harvnb|Stage Door Medium|2021}}, at 20:03 min.</ref> At closing night for the Seattle tryout run, Bass presented her with the flight jacket, wings, and service pin that she wore on September 11, to be worn on Broadway.<ref>{{cite news |work=News-Press |location=Fort Myers, FL |title=Soaring Life of Beverley Bass |last=Williams |first=Cynthia A. |date=2016-03-20 |page=E15}}</ref>

=== Comedy, film, and television ===
In the hopes of breaking into television, Colella began her career as a comedian as a way to get noticed. That, as well as the rock band, helped build her on stage confidence. She started doing observational humor stand-up in Southern California while pursuing her MFA. During that time, she performed in places such as the [[Laugh Factory]] and [[The Comedy Store]] in Hollywood. She has said that success and failure are equally valuable instructors.<ref>{{harvnb|Ferrao|2021}}, at 4:55 min.</ref><ref name="sfchron"/>

She had her television debut in 2003 co-hosting the game show ''Can You Tell?'' with [[Tony Rock]] on [[Oxygen (TV network)|Oxygen]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Jenn-Colella-The-Girl-Behind-the-Bull-Nov-7-20041026 |title=Jenn Colella: The Girl Behind the Bull, Nov. 7 |author=BWW News Desk |date=2004-10-26 |website=broadwayworld.com |access-date=2022-02-07}} {{cite AV media |people=Tony Rock, host |title=Dave LaBarge, safecracker on a game show "Can You Tell?" back in 2003 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZp9SBfUEoU |access-date=2022-02-23}}</ref> Her next appearance was on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] series ''[[Cashmere Mafia]]'', where she was in a same-sex relationship and discussed their starting a family. That show aired January 2008, six weeks before she opened in ''Beebo Brinker''. Since then she has guest starred in several other television shows. In 2019, the year she left ''Come From Away'', there were three for [[CBS]], ''[[The Code (American TV series)|The Code]]'', ''[[Madam Secretary (TV series)|Madam Secretary]]'', and ''[[Evil (TV series)|Evil]]''. Colella was also part of the ''PBS'' ''Tribute to Stephen Sondheim'' with the [[New York Philharmonic]] at Lincoln Center in 2010,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://castalbums.org/recordings/Sondheim-The-Birthday-Concert-2010-Various-Artists/19495 |title=Sondheim: The Birthday Concert > Various Artists |website=castalbums.org |access-date=2022-03-27}}</ref> and the initial ''Broadway in Concert: An Evening with Lerner and Loewe'', again for PBS, in March 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://playbill.com/article/jenn-colella-jose-llana-aisha-jackson-more-will-sing-in-pbs-celebration-of-alan-jay-lerner-and-frederick-loewe |title=Jenn Colella, Jose Llana, Aisha Jackson, More Will Sing in PBS Celebration of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe |first=Andrew |last=Gans |date=2022-01-20 |website=playbill.com |access-date=2022-02-16}}</ref>

===Process===
When Colella works on a project, she says she treats it as a hit and believes in it completely. But whether it is a hit is not the point, for her as an actor, it is to do her best work for as long as the show runs. She believes actors get hired not only because of talent, but because of their energy. She feels the energy that an actor brings into the room must be practiced throughout the day, working toward the foundation of present moment awareness. To her, "acting is the easy part, staying in the present moment in her work is harder and requires focus."<ref>{{harvnb|Davenport|2020}}, at 15 min. {{harvnb|Stage Door Medium|2021}}, at 25:58 min.</ref> She believes that acting is the same whether on Broadway or in a local theater.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 24:04 min.</ref>

She says there are only two things over which an actor has control—preparation and attitude. Her work ethic is to arrive at rehearsal with lines memorized and music learned. She works to understand what is going on and to develop ideas about her character. She thinks a production staff wants to trust that the actor will do the work and not appear for rehearsal unprepared. They also want to know the actor will be a team player, someone they will want to work with during a development cycle that may take several years.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 26:13 min. {{harvnb|Broadwaycom|2017}}, at 8:08 min.</ref>

Colella says she enjoys rehearsing more than performing. She has indicated she feels sad after opening night, when the creative team is not there anymore, as it is like mom and dad are gone. They are no longer there to guide and approve the work being done. She loves the energy and approval received from an audience, but the safety, community, and feeling of family within rehearsal is not the same.<ref>{{harvnb|Davenport|2020}}, at 18:50 min. {{harvnb|Seales|2021}}, at 14:21 min.</ref>

She treats signing-in at the theater as a contract between herself and the others in the company to be her best self while there, and knows practicing kindness requires attention.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 26:13 min.</ref> She does not mark{{efn|group=nb| Marking is a singing technique employed to help save the voice from overwork.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://rising-stars-productions.com/vocal-health-part-ii-marking/ |title= Vocal Health, Part II: Marking |first= |last= |date=2018-11-02 |website=Rising Stars Productions |access-date=2022-03-31}}</ref>}} in rehearsal, and has spent her career singing like it's the last time she'll sing.<ref>{{harvnb|Bass: Savannah Performance Alliance|2020}}, at 11:04 min.</ref>

Colella has said, "being a queer woman in the Broadway community is something I'm very proud of."<ref>{{harvnb|BroadwayCon 2018}}, at 9:20 min.</ref>

[[Manoel Felciano]], a co-star of Colella's in the movie ''Uncertainty,'' wrote the song "Jenn Colella" about her.
