A Fantastic Album From One Of The Great Voices Of The Latter 20th Century!! "***TRUE STORY!!*** It was in Toronto in early 1993, and I was touring with Celine Dion then. This was during the time of the annual Juno Awards (Canada's Grammys) and both Celine and K.D. Lang, who I had admired since I first heard her amazing rendition of the Roy Orbison classic "Crying", the Patsy Cline classic "Two Cigarettes", and the song "Pulling Back The Reigns", were dominant nominees, along with Melissa Etheridge and her hot album "Come To My Window"!! A strange chain of events had led to the fact that K.D. Lang's back-up singers were detained in the Vancouver airport and she was stuck without them for her Juno performance... a song entitled "Constant Craving". Well, she and her manager were running around backstage like chickens with their heads cut off, when they chanced upon the dressing room of the Celine Dion band, and in particular, us, the Celine Dion back-up singers. (-: We were going through our usual clowning and vocal exercises all-in-one and they heard our harmonies and thought we'd be a perfect fit for K.D. Lang's performance as well! So they go and ask Rene Angelil and Suzanne Gingue, overlords in Celine's camp, can they use their vocalists for K.D.'s performance that night as well, and they agree if we are paid what her back-up singers would've made. This is how things go down in the entertainment industry sometimes... (backstage at the spur of the moment!)---Anywayz, our dressing room door swings open and here are Celine's inner circle as well as K.D's inner circle, asking us if we would come with them to K.D.'s dressing room and meet with her M.D. (musical director), so we can learn the parts and rehearse for "Constant Craving". We do learn it and K.D. loves that we are quick studies and blend against her perfectly! She was so cool with absolutely no attitude or ego at all! I find that the REAL TALENTS are always like that though. Fast forward to the televised show and K.D.'s performance is before Celine's that night. So we wear different outfits in our wardrobe for K.D. than for Celine, and all goes fantastically! She recieves 2 or 3 Junos that year, and that song sticks in my head from that day to this! This CD, "INGENUE" was amazing in 1992/'93, and it still is amazing now! K.D. Lang's iconic voice weaves a delicious, soothing, poignant and sensual spell on songs from "Miss Chatelaine" to "Constant Craving" to "Wash Me Clean" to "Save Me" and others....it just haunts all the cells in your body! I bought this CD right after our performance that night in Toronto and still play it from time to time to this day, some 16 yrs later! I think that says everything that you need to know about this CD! If you don't have it, check it out and buy it! (-:" HE WHO FUNKS BEHIND THE ROWS!!
