She said on her original audition that she wanted to become a professional singer but had never been given the chance,well she had her chance and took it, with a number 1 album as proof.She done it with her voice without the need to appear as floozy with her dress up halfway to paradise sure there are better singers around and there are a darn sight worse who seem to be succesful.One of the better ones has to be Judith Durham, voice of an angel i think.
