I would beg to differ with you. Norah is a jazz pianist. She is an accomplished artist and not a one hit wonder even though she is only 23. She'll be around for awhile.

Another thing that her success is a testament to is that people KNOW when they hear good music. Her single "Don't Know Why" didn't get much notice by the Top 40 stations. I know some of the adult contemporary stations have played it, but they don't get as much hype as the "pop" stations. Norah also has another thing to her advantage over Christopher Cross and Hootie: she's an attractive FEMALE. Since her music is classy, good, and reaches out to a wide audience, she's bound to be around for a while. Let's help her out too.

That's right, well deserved, Nora!

Norah is a jazz pianist.

Which may explain why Blue Note, the vaunted Jazz label, released her album, though many purists consider it pop.

"I would beg to differ with you. Norah is a jazz pianist. She is an accomplished artist and not a one hit wonder even though she is only 23. She'll be around for awhile."

The entire album (cd) is fairly eclectic. Yes, her roots are in jazz. But some of the songs have country influence.

A lot of credit should go to her partner, band member, guitarist, who wrote many of the numbers.

I wouldn't predict if she will last. Her voice is good. Many with good voices remain in the business for decades, but few continue to make the top of the charts, for decades.

Those who last (Elton John, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson--many others) seem to have a deep inner drive to make music, even when they aren't on top, and survive big obstacles.
