Greetings friend, Michael Drive here.

I am proud and honored to devote a page here on my own web site
to a living legend, and an artist I highly respect. The one and only:

Chi Coltrane

If you have never heard her perform, please...do yourself a favor, and click on the "listen" links below!

Just to give you a little info, check this out:

Chi Coltrane began as a performer in Chicago’s hippest clubs. But soon after, she made her stunning overseas debut when she starred as guest star of the USA at the International Rock Festival before 50,000 people in Rio de Janeiro, where she tore the house down. She returned to the U.S. where Clive Davis signed her to CBS/SONY. Her first hit was in the U.S.: “Thunder and Lightning”; hitting #12 nationwide and then becoming a world hit; with various TOP 5 hits in Germany, hitting #1 in Holland and holding that position for a month with “Go Like Elijah”. Chi was now on the main stage; headlining with "The Who", "The Eagles", Stevie Wonder and Rod Stewart, among others. During the 70’s and 80’s, in America, Chi was called “The First Lady of Rock”; and in Europe, she was dubbed “The Queen of Rock”; where she was also voted “Top Female Artist” for two consecutive years, and held the #1 position in the Musik Express Popularity Poll in Western Europe. Chi’s lifetime work has garnered many awards and accolades, both in America and abroad, including the coveted European Gold Hammer and Silver Hammer for top Female artist. In 1999 Chi was honored in Los Angeles for her achievements in the field of music, and not only for the contribution of her talent, but also for her contribution to peace: Chi was asked to speak and to perform at the Berlin Peace University, because of her “contribution to peace in the world”. But one of the more interesting statistics was that in the European “100 Best Musicians of the CENTURY” list, Chi was listed in the TOP 50! Rolling Stone magazine described Chi as a “rip-snorting female vocalist/composer/producer whose performances are nothing less than searing.” Grammy Award Winner; Paul Buckmaster (known for his string arrangements with Elton John, and many other famous artists), referring to her new song “Yesterday, Today & Forever” said; “I had to stop a few times while working on the arrangement of 'Yesterday, Today & Forever' because of the profound emotions it stirred up in me - it is that great of a song. I think this may be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.”

I couldn't agree more. When I first heard the beauty of this new song of hers, "Yesterday, Today & Forever," I cannot tell you how GREAT I thought it was. No word short of "phenominal". So therefore, I had to share this with you... all of you, and make it easy for you to go check her out. I'm not even being paid to do this, I just wanted you to know about this amazing artist. Click on the video if you haven't already, and I strongly advise buying her latest album!
