DIVA TALK: Remembering LaMott, Plus Diva News
NANCY LaMOTT: A REMEMBRANCE
It's hard to believe, but Dec. 13 marked four years since Nancy LaMott lost her battle with cancer, just hours after she married actor Peter Zapp on her deathbed. LaMott was blessed with one of, if not the, most beautiful voices in the cabaret world, a rich, lush, honey-toned sound that could be soft, sweet and creamy one minute and big and belty the next. She also possessed a remarkable ability to find the emotional center of any song, bringing a lyric to life as honestly as possible. I really can't say enough about the genius of her singing: Listen to the way she embodies Stephen Sondheim's "Not a Day Goes By" (in a thrilling medley with "Good Thing Going") on her "My Foolish Heart" CD. As she reaches the climax of the song, fully belting "Not a blessed day," she quickly changes into a softer head tone on the word "day," and the effect is beguiling. In fact, LaMott always played her voice like an instrument; however, she didn't engage in vocal pyrotechnics -- she simply delivered a song in the most heartfelt fashion.
