This is a good one. Veteran blues and gospel singer Linda Hopkins sings Bobby Troup’s “Route 66” in front of an enthusiastic European audience.
Believe it or not, Hopkins is 82 years old and was still performing as recently as last year. Here’s her impressive bio.
Yes Mama Linda is a real jewel! I talked to her today, she is like a second mother to me! She comes from a generation of “real” singers! Most of the singers of today are “studio singers”! Mama Linda has a real voice! It sounds good on record, live, accapella, any way you want it! When you visit her house her motto is “your always home”! I love her dearly!
