Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Two folksingers I've never seen mentioned in the same breath as the 60's scene are myself and Adele Assante. We played the Tete-A-Tete Coffeehouse in Providence R.I. along with such favorites as Michael Cooney, Paul Arnoldi, Paul Jeremia, and Leonda. It was a real hoot and Adele had the voice of an angel. Unfortunately. people kept saying she was trying to sound like Baez....she naturally sounded like Joan and, I think, had a more pure voice. Still have some wobbly reel-to-reel tapes of us at the Tete and the Ballad Room in Newport...Curious if anyone remembers those days in Providence.
