| Gina Taylor: algunos sitios que dan cuenta de vida y obra. 1. "A Broadway performer, Gina Taylor-Pickens was featured in Eubie and Dreamgirls; she debuted as a “triple threat” in the Broadway production of Leader of the Pack. In recent years, Gina provided background vocals for Kelly Clarkson, Barry Manilow, Toto, Anita Baker and Jennifer Holiday. She was featured as the lead vocalist of Pandora’s Box, and on motion picture soundtracks for films Deliver Us from Eva, Sister Act 1 and 2, and The Lion King 1 ½. Married for 25 years, James and Gina live in Claifornia’s San Fernando Valley. They have a son and a daughter." (http://www.jpjfoundationroping.com/about.html) 2. Leader of the Pack (1984-5), "Keep it Confidential". "My favorite number though was a newer song that was cut during the run: KEEP IT COFIDENTIAL performed mightily by Gina Taylor. I understand why they cut the number was cut as it is out of sync with the feel & style of the rest of the show, but it was remains an outstanding performance of an outstanding song. Thank God Elektra saw fit to keep it on the Cast Album when it was released!" (http://www.amazon.com/Leader-Pack/product-reviews/B002CL36B0). 2.1 Aquí la canción: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu0E7S71CMI Lamentablemente con el cierre de megaupload, el archivo comprimido que contenía "Keep it Confindential", fue eliminado... Pandora's Box: un tour nunca llevado a escena. "Jim Steinman, always Ellen's biggest fan, called for her again. He was assembling a band for his next project "Pandora's Box", and he wanted to have Ellen as one of four featured female vocalists. The other three were Elaine Caswell (backing vocals on "Another Breath"), Gina Taylor (from "Beehive") and Deliria Wilde. Steinman called the album "Original Sin", and Ellen was lead vocalist on two tracks, "Twentieth Century Fox" and "My Little Red Book"; she was sharing lead on "Original Sin", and she recited the "Want Ad" monologue. Ellen took one week off the "Me And My Girl" musical to record "Original Sin", which got released in 1989. It was a brilliant album, with four fantastic vocalists, excellent songs and good musicianship. It was something Steinman had wanted to do for years; he was well pleased with it and wanted to bring the full band on tour with a theatrical rock show unlike anything the world had seen before. Sadly, it was not to be. The album bombed in Europe and it wasn't even released in the States, so a disillusioned Steinman started working on "Bat Out Of Hell 2" for Meat Loaf instead. Initially he was going to write another duet for Meat Loaf and Ellen for this album, but this came to nothing." | |
