AMERICAN LEGENDS : Eileen Fulton. Cont'd.

She brought depth, dignity and class to soap opera.

Diva Eileen Fulton is also a prolific writer who has co-authored two autobiographies, "As My World Still Turns," and "How My World Turns," and has written six murder mysteries, "Take One for Murder," "Death of a Golden Girl," "Dying for Stardom," "Lights, Camera, Death," A Setting for Murder," and "Fatal Flashback."

 

The Fulton Touch!

 As a cabaret super artist and a soprano singer, Eileen Fulton redefined cabaret quality and quality standards, for she does not copy or imitate other super stars. On the contrary, she creates her own, a “Fulton Style” characterized by a mesmerizing presence, Soprano crystal clear voice, stunning intelligent beauty, right moves, sophistication, dramatic allure, human depth, sensuality, warm personality, truthful lyrical voice, fatal charm and romanticism. She is the reincarnation of the vanished great golden era of American extravaganza, the magic of the great follies and mysteriously through this incarnation, she re-invents herself as the perfect contemporary cabaret femme fatale. Have you ever heard Eileen sing "Blame It On My Youth", "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good", "There Is a Time" written by France’s great Charles Aznavour (This is my favorite, being a French-American), "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing", "As If We Never Said Goodbye", "The Little Drummer Boy", "Santa Man", and "Losing My Mind"? If you did, then you are in heaven. If not yet, what are you waiting for? A miracle? Go get her CDs.

She is not sweet all the time, but her revolting nature is a pure delight adding few extra miles and more space for all those truthful and independent artists who need to breath...

Although, cabaret singing is not her primordial forte, Eileen Fulton, magically, managed to nourish her voice and presence on stage with an elixir of an hypnotizing stage presence and mesmerizing appeal which made the career of very few artists who transcended time and space, such as Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Gabriella Ferri, Amanda McBroom and Barbara Cook. Eileen Fulton is a stage and cabaret sensation. It would be quasi difficult to categorize a " Fulton Genre", however, her tragi-comic stage projection, strong personality, daring thoughts, delightfully rebellious nature, this delicate touch of seduction of her,  the Fulton's  flair of glamour and Eileen's  sparkling soprano voice created au aura around her. An aura of sophisticated vocal virtuosity. Coming from a soap opera queen seems unlikely. But, it does! For while performing in soap operas, the audiences around the glove have already detected in this mesmerizing diva, a captivating stage presence and a persona hiding wealth of multi-dimensional talents to explode in divergent and convergent performing arts. And future performances prove them right. Eileen Fulton is a  multi-dimensional phenomenon!!
