As we conclude the month of March, and subsequently ‘Women’s History Month’, we wanted to share with you just a few women in music that have both made history, and paved the way for other artists…
Dixie Chicks
Now known as ‘The Chicks’ - The Dixie Chicks trio are the highest selling female group of all time. They challenged people with their political stances and were outspoken about their beliefs; they have gone down in history for being some of the most controversial stars in country music.
Ella Fitzgerald
Described as ‘The First Lady of Song’ - Fitzgerald is renowned all over the world for her music. She has been described by many as the ‘Queen of Jazz’, and was noted not only for her voices’ ‘horn-like’ quality and 3 octave range, but for her impressive improvisational abilities and scat singing.
