Description
|
|
|
|
Imagine the emotional rush when Shirlee Ellis Amos’s son—a singer/songwriter and record executive—stumbled on boxes of photos, acetates, and record contracts revealing that his mother, who committed suicide in 2003 after a history of mental illness, had lived a previous existence as the gorgeous 1960s singer Shirl-ee May, whose musically adventurous repertoire for Mercury Records embraced Nashville tunes and standards as well as novelty songs. This powerful and poignant tribute traces the beginnings and apex of her career, as well as her tragic decline. “An incredible album ... [with] great arrangements.”—David Dye, NPR
