Topic: Janiva Magness

It wouldn't be right to hijack CD's 'Who dat' topic any further, because that's got potential. So, here is a dedicated topic for my latest lady rave - yes, someone I have only just discovered, to my great shame and embarrassment. In case anyone else is also in the dark, here's a brief blurb -

Throughout her career, Magness has been recognized as one of the great blues and R&B singers today. She received the coveted 2009 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year (she is only the second woman to ever win this award, Koko Taylor being the first). She also won Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year, an honor she also received in 2006 and 2007. She has received a total of seventeen Blues Music Award nominations, including one for 2012′s Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year.

In addition to her musical accomplishments, Magness reaches out to help others. She is a Spokesperson for Casey Family Programs National Foster Care Month Campaign (her sixth consecutive year) and an Ambassador for Foster Care Alumni of America, promoting National Foster Care Month.

Not only does Janiva rock, her heart is in the right place too, no doubt as a result of her own tragic childhood.

This cracks me up, she's got a custom made washboard with pointy boobs! lol

Re: Janiva Magness

With legs like that why not show 'em off, she's no youngster so use it or lose it. Can't believe Cathy never steered you onto her being part of the Blues Review that has it's roots on the Blues Cruise. My GalPal Karen turned me onto Janiva 3 yrs. ago after she saw her @ the Russian River Jazz Fest w/ Tommy, Dr. John, & The Nevilles. I've yet to see her myself, but she's around in 2 weeks.

Re: Janiva Magness

Janiva Magness has a wonderful voice. One of my favourite songs "You were never mine".
Last year she played the big tent at the Moulin Blues Festival in Ospel and I missed her to see Ian Siegal & Big Pete who played at the small tent. Actually Ian started too late and once that he started I couldn't go.
Hope to hear Janiva's voice one day live!
