Details:
Stupid Cupid: The girl Group Era began in the beauriful venues of the New Territories in Hong Kong (2006). Under the initial title, "Songs and Dances of the 50''s and 60''s, it made its way to London''s West End (Jermyn Street Theatre) and Covent Garden (Octave Jazz Club) in 2008. Rosemary George was accompanied by the Jason Cheng Trio and the award winning John Turville Trio respectively. In New York, it was re-named "A Rock''N roll Revue" under the musical direction of the late great Joseph Diamond. The venue was John Zorn''s The Stone. in 2009 Lang Hall at Hunter College sponsored this show and after the recording at Roulette, the CD Release Show made its way to Harlem''s Black Box Theatre (sponsored by Loft Arts Productions) on November 20. Since then, the title Stupid Cupid refers to the hit record made famous by Connie Francis.
This has been a 6 year project for me as I grew up listening to and singing with these pre-revolutionary girl groups and solo artists. Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Barbara Lewis, Lesley Gore - all had something direct and simple to say about love. Coming out of a time where mostly male groups were singing up a storm, these ladies sang with so much technique and know how, it''s no reason they still sing today with such rich sounds.
Kelvyn "Kelvynator" Bell, my wonderful Blues guitar player has brought an enormous Blues feeling to these "cover songs". As always, it is difficult to sing covers especially since everyone has come to identify these songs with the original singers. I felt that I had to do something "different" - a touch of blues, swing, ragtime, faster tempo, slower tempo, etc. I do know one thing, everywhere I take this show, it is extremely well-received. Audiences sing along, dance, bob up and down, smile and have a lot of fun! Of course, the entire show is nearly two hours in length. The CD merely highlight some of it.
International singer Rosemary George has maintained a career in a variety of genres including classical, musical theatre, jazz and pop. some venues include: Avery Fisher Hall (Lincoln Center), Carnegie Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, London''s Barbican Centre, Theatre Museum , Jermyn Street Theatre, Octave Jazz Club as well as Festivals including Caramoor, Beethoven, New Hampshire, Waterloo, Edinburgh and Jerash in Jordan.
