Women on Vinyl

Monday March 8th is International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate women and raise awareness against bias. We celebrate this day by bringing an ode to women in music by selecting four vinyl records by amazing artists.

Patti Smith is considered one of the big influences on the New York City punk rock movement in the seventies. Cyndi Lauper made an enormous impact on pop music when she made her debut in 1983.

Carole King is one of the most successful female songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century. And last but not least: Nina Simone ‘The High Priestess of Soul’. Miss Simone is a legend that put her stamp on a broad range of musical styles.

Four amazing women that are absolute legends in the music industry and still have a great influence on today’s music.

Patricia Smith is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and visual artist who became an influential component of the New York punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses. Easter is the third studio album by the Patti Smith Group, released in March 1978. It is regarded as the group’s commercial breakthrough, owing to the success of the single, “Because the Night” (co-written by Bruce Springsteen and Smith), which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

When Cyndi Lauper made her debut in 1983, it had an enormous impact. The little lady with the colorful outfits, bright orange hair and squeaky voice turned out to be a punky pop queen with powerful live vocals and presence. She has a knack for delivering timeless classics. Songs like ‘Girls just want to have fun’ , ‘Money Changes Everything’ and ‘Time after Time’ truly are timeless.
