I was such a huge fan of Mari Wilson in the 1980s. Her 1983 album- Showpeople was one of my most played of that era. I loved the voice & the beehive hairdo & her retro 60s quirky sound. Her band is called the Wilsonetts & the back up singers are the Marionetts (Julia Fordham was once a member). I have been searching for Mari on ITunes & other sites for some time & this morning there was a post on JMG, in Joe's series called 80s Flashback, of her great single- Just What I Always Wanted. I am so excited to have her music back in my life, not just because it reminds me of this very happy time in my life, but because her music is timeless. According to her website she is back touring with old & new tunes. Here is her spine tingling version of Cry Me A River.
Now if I can just locate Karla DeVit0 or The Corgis!
