Instructors" Bios:
Amanda McBroom has been called "...the greatest cabaret performer of her generation, an urban poet who writes like an angel and has a voice to match." Her name first came to the attention of the music public when Bette Midler`s version of Amanda`s song "THE ROSE" hit number one all over the world in 1979. But it was Amanda`s performance of her own song on the Golden Globes, Grammys, and The Tonight Show, along with her many live appearances, that launched her career as a singer and songwriter, and that convinced growing audiences that the best interpretations of McBroom songs are by McBroom herself.
