b. Natalie McIntyre, 9 September
1970, Canton, Ohio, USA. Downplaying the hype
surrounding her as the saviour of soul music, Gray
often repeated the story about how she was afraid to
speak as a child because other kids would tease her
about her voice. That voice, an amazing hybrid of
Billie Holiday and Tina Turner refreshingly free
from the modern clich‚s of the R&B diva and the rap
gangstress, entranced critics and music fans alike
when her debut album was released in autumn 1999.
