Chanteuse Country US née Myrna Joy Miller, le 29 Novembre 1941 à Phoenix (Arizona). Jody Miller est décédée le 6 Octobre 2022.
Billed early
in her career as "The Little Girl with a Big Voice", Jody Miller was Capitol
Records most promising young female vocalist in the 1960s. In an era of petite belters
who could shake the rafters with their powerful voices (Brenda
Lee, Connie Francis, Lesley Gore,
Timi Yuro, et al.), Jody was, for a time, the Capitol Tower's contender for the
title of Pop Music's Top Princess. A five-foot three-inch blend of girl-next-door
beauty and charm, the dark-eyed brunette began her career singing folk songs in
college coffee houses in Oklahoma before making her exodus to the west coast
and a successful appearance at Hollywood's Troubador nightclub. Almost overnight,
an encounter with westerns film star Dale Robertson brought her to the attention
of Capitol Records executives, who promptly offered Jody a recording contract.
Several fascinating singles followed---including the dramatic pop smash "He
Walks Like A Man", the controversial, hippie protest anthem, "Home of the
Brave", the mournful (and brilliantly written) "Long Black Limousine", and
Jody's Grammy®-Award winner tribute to America's Domestic Goddesses, "Queen of
the House". During this time, Jody cut seven albums for Capitol and made
numerous appearances on national TV, performing alongside The Righteous Brothers,
Sonny and Cher and The Rolling Stones on such wildly popular dance shows as
Shindig, Hullabaloo, American Bandstand and Hollywood A Go Go.
For several frenetic years in the 60s, Jody toured Hawaii with The Beach Boys,
entertained the U.S. Air Force in Alaska with Bob Hope, and performed shows with
everyone from Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass to Don Rickles. In the middle
part of the decade, along with several other recording artists of the day, she
also pioneered the music video format in some groundbreaking and eye-popping
films for the Scopitone movie jukebox. A true road warrior, Jody's musical
journey has literally taken her around the globe ---from England and Italy, to
Japan and the Philippines.
For 15 years, Jody was a major attraction in both Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe,
where she drew huge crowds at The Sahara, The Riviera, Harrah's and The Desert
Inn Hotels with her energetic and musically diverse shows. Switching over from
folk and pop to more country-oriented music in the 1970's, she gained an even
wider audience with eight successful albums for Columbia Records in Nashville,
before retiring to her Oklahoma farm to breed and raise quarter horses with her
husband Monty Brooks. Returning to recording in the 1990s, Jody cut over a half
dozen gospel albums (earning her induction into the
International Country Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 1998 and her being
named 1999's Entertainer of the Year by the
Country Gospel Music Guild), and has now resumed performing her country and
pop hits in her shows.
Throughout her entire career, Jody has proven to be such a gifted and versatile
vocalist that it has often made classifying her as a singer almost next to
impossible. In the past, however, this versatility in several different musical
styles often created a dilemma for Jody when dealing with an industry so intent
on pigeonholing performers. Exactly where, on the musical continuum, did she
belong? The lady herself once asserted, "I love all music...from opera to the
blues. One newspaper reporter once said my voice was smoky, but she really meant
bluesy, I think. I could never be categorized. Maybe I shoulda done Broadway
tunes..."
With questioning her proper musical niche long a thing of the past, Jody Miller
has amassed a multitude of awards, accomplishments and fans in a multi-faceted
career that in 2008 sees her nearing the half-century mark in show business.
With her rich and resonant voice wonderfully intact, here's hoping that Jody
will continue spreading some good news --through some great music-- for many years
to come.

Little Girl With a Big Voice"
