	David Lasley - Reviews
		David Lasley is a paradox, a walking contradiction, a backup singer with a lead singer's heart.
		A lot of times your job as a background singer, say like with James, would be to not pull out all of the stops, to be a member of the group and to support the sound of a specific song you're doing.
		It would seem like Shawn Colvin, who was a background singer for Suzanne Vega, never got to use her real solo voice because whatever her vocal job was in the context of Suzanne Vega's show.

		Going from the polished sheen of a Vandross tour.--complete with Versace gowns--to the rough-and-tumble rock and roll of the Stones and on to a solo gig may be heady, but Fischer is handling it.

		The events leading up to the release of her debut album, Denial, Delusions and Decisions, are far from such chance happenings as bumping into your neighbor in the grocery store or ordering the same dish as a co-worker in your company's cafeteria.
		But soulful crooner Jaguar Wright likes to think of the development of some of her songs and how her career fell into place as being "coincidental" or "matter-of-factish." "That was one of the biggest surprises I ever had in my life," she giggled about her backup singing appearance on Jay-Z's recent "Unplugged" MTV special.
		Jay called on hip-hop band the Roots to perform with him, and Wright just so happened to be down with that crew.

		Hers was the voice that framed Jackson Browne's on his classic "Running On Empty." Even though she was "just" the backup singer, her voice did as much to define the sound of '70s and '80s California rock as the stars she intuitively supported.
