K.D.Lang:
Lesbian Icon |
|
|
K.D.Lang’s
greatest achievements include her Grammy awards:
Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with
Vocals - for 'Crying' with Roy Orbison, Grammy
Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance
in 1989 - for the album 'Absolute Torch and Twang',
Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance

for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2003 -
for 'A Wonderful World' with Tony Bennett.
In 1996, she was made an Officer of the Order
of Canada. In 2004 Stephen Holden of The New York
Times wrote: "Few singers command such perfection
of pitch. Her voice, at once beautiful and unadorned
and softened with a veil of smoke, invariably
hits the middle of a note and remains there. She
discreetly flaunted her technique, drawing out
notes and shading them from sustained cries into
softer, vibrato-laden murmurs. She balanced her
commitment to the material with humour, projecting
a twinkling merriment behind it all." ...more...
