- Died
- Janice Harper died on May 21, 2016 in Arvene, New York, USA.
- Her finest LP, Embers Of Love, remains a potent evocation of perseverance in the face of romantic dissolution, celebrating the dawn rather than the darkness. Paired with arranger Stan Applebaum, Harper infuses melancholy ballads like Cry Me A River, The Thrill Is Gone and For All We Know with a warmth and sincerity bordering on naiveté.
- A native NewYorker, she would sing for her high school buddies who insisted that she study voice and making singing her car.
- Was an American singer who made a very modest impact on the music world through the '50s and into the '60s.
- Janice Harper first broke onto the Pop charts in 1957.
- One specific reason why Janice Harper isn't a huge star like she deserved to be was that, during her most popular period, when she was signed to Capitol Records, they had a stable of artists such as the aforementioned Peggy Lee, June Christy and others.
