Best Of Wayne Newton CD

An exceptional talent and terrific live performer, Lucy is already a young veteran of the music business. Lucy's song "Dumb Girls" from her Atlantic Records 2003 debut album `While You Can' was a Top 40 chart hit, which allowed her to tour internationally as well as garner her significant press exposure including a spot on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".

Lucy's song "There's Gotta Be More To Life" earned her a BMI Songwriter's Award and she's recorded songs for several film soundtracks including `What A Girl Wants,' `First Daughter' and `Accepted,' as well as covering Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet" for Disney's `Ice Princess.

' "My good friend Jamie Houston who I wrote with on my first record was producing the track. The song took about an hour to cut, and in that time I knew I had the inspiration for my next record. That vocal made me open up in ways I hadn't done before. It was really satisfying." Lucy plunged back into her record collection and pulled out all the recordings of her favorite songstresses - singers like the sassy powerhouse Etta James and the wild and idiosyncratic entertainer Betty Hutton, who had originated "It's Oh So Quiet" in the early 1950s. "Her fearlessness just blew me away." But, Lucy adds, "I have so many musical influences, and I knew I needed this record to allow for that. I am a singer fan. When a singer can make her voice dance, that's what moves me."After the success of `While You Can,' Lucy felt a shift in her songwriting inspiration. "I kept coming back to three albums in my collection: Julie London, Ray Charles, and the soundtrack of `The Jungle Book.
