7 INTERNATIONAL
DIVAS GRACE THE COVERS OF “SHOWBIZ, PIONEERS, BEST SINGERS,
MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS FROM 1606 TO THE PRESENT”: VOLUME IV OF
THE WORLD WHO'S WHO IN JAZZ, CABARET, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT
On April 24, 2007, the Federation of American Musicians, Singers
and Performing Artists, Incorporated (FAMSPA), Times Square Press
and the editorial board of the World Who's Who in Jazz, Cabaret,
Music and Entertainment, jointly announced in New York City the
names of the seven divas who will grace the covers of volume IV of
the World Who's Who in Jazz, Cabaret, Music and Entertainment.
Peggy Judy is on the front cover; Antoinette Montague, Maria
Gentile, Zola, Katie Bull, Stephanie Jordan, Irene Soderberg and
Nichaud Fitzgibbon on the back cover. Carol Lexter associate editor
at the World Who's Who said: “These 7 ladies were chosen out of 125
names submitted to the editorial board. It was a tough call. We had
to select unique talents with distinctive style and a great
personality. They fit the bill...yes, they are extremely talented,
highly respected in the music industry and hey! they look great!”
Senior editor, Germaine Poitiers said: “The choice was perfect,
because each one of them brings to the table a different genre and a
unique talent. They create an oasis of multi-varied music ranging
from Blues and Jazz to cabaret and world music...not to forget their
different ethnic background...we have here artists from the United
States, South Africa, Australia and New Orleans, if you cant count
New Orleans as a separate magical country.” The legendary PEGGY JUDY
graces the front cover. A large section in the Who's Who was devoted
to her astonishing accomplishments as a writer, cartoonist, singer,
producer, singer and diva extraordinaire.
