Amanda McBroom

The First Lady  of America’s Cabaret

By  Maximillien de Lafayette

   

Amanda McBroom has been called “…the greatest cabaret performer of her generation, an urban poet who writes like an angel and has a voice to match.” And WORLD ART CELEBRITIES JOURNAL  called her “The Immortal Living Legend And The Greatest Songwriter/Singer Of All Time”.

Today, Amanda McBroom is the greatest cabaret songwriter/singer/entertainer in America and in the known world. She does not need more awards and additional recognition (s). She has more than enough, enough for centuries to come. Nevertheless, the readers and the editorial staff of World Art Celebrities Journal had to reveal their admiration and ultimate respect for this Super Diva; Amanda McBroom, the best of the best, the living immortal legend! So, what they did was very a propos. They elected her as the “INTERNATIONAL WOMAN OF THE YEAR”, America’s best and greatest female singer/songwriter of all time. In addition, recent international polls conducted by World Art Celebrities Journal in 125 countries  and questionnaires filled by approximately 500,000 readers and music lovers from around the globe  ascertained that Amanda McBroom has been chosen as among the world’s top 30 best and greatest singers and cabaret stars of all time.

 

Although, in 1979, Amanda McBroom became a world’s celebrity when Bette Midler sang her song “The Rose”, it was Amanda’s performance of her own song and other tunes at various events and places including the Grammy Awards, the FORD Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, The Wolftrap in Virginia, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. (where she sang with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch), Carnegie Hall, New York’s Rainbow and Stars, the Golden Globes, Angel Recital Hall in Sydney, Meyer Hall in Melbourne where she headlined the Festival of the Arts and Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taiwan, Pizza on the Park in London and the Tonight Show that established her as a world class and a super songwriter and singer. Her personal rendition of that song surpassed the Bette Midler version in vocal and artistic qualities. Critics and fans alike,  agreed that the best interpretation of Amanda McBroom’s songs and genius creativity are by Amanda herself, no question asked.

An excerpt from her official biography stated:” Amanda was born on the 9^th of August, 1946 in Burbank CA. Cabaret singer and songwriter; actress. Her father was actor David Bruce (1914--76), who played a great many second leads in films of the '40s; her memories of him are offered in the touching countrified waltz 'Errol Flynn'.
