Here’s a two-fer : Stan Garfield’s Quarantine Playlist featuring Beth Nielsen Chapman, and a reposting of our American One podcast with this talented artist.
Here’s Stan: “Sand & Water,” written in the wake of Beth’s first husband’s death, and “Happy Girl” are two of my favorites. I have seen her several times at The Ark in Ann Arbor and once at 20 Front Street.
Beth’s life story is incredible. She lost her first husband to cancer, and then survived breast cancer and a brain tumor. Beth has written 7 #1 hits and has had songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Michael McDonald, Keb’ Mo’, Roberta Flack, Waylon Jennings, and The Indigo Girls. She also wrote Faith Hill’s hit “This Kiss,” ASCAP’s 1999 Song Of The Year.
