Oleta Adams was born on this day in 1953, in Seattle, Washington. I know of her because of the Tears for Fears song, "Woman in Chains". She did an amazing job on that - Roland Orzabal was responsible for launching her career through that collaboration - it hadn't come to much up to that point. She has a fabulous voice and has received plaudits aplenty, but for some reason has never quite reached the dizzy heights of stardom.

And a cover she did very well with (nominated for a Grammy) "Get Here", written by Brenda Russell ...
