Maggie Bell

Maggie Bell is one of those voices I think deserves far more name recognition than she gets. The Glasgow-born singer fronted the blues-rock band Stone the Crows and earned the comparison to Janis Joplin, which is about the highest compliment you can pay a blues belter of that era. For me the telling credit is her guest vocal on Rod Stewart's 'Every Picture Tells a Story', a record that defined a moment. Scottish soul singers were rare in that scene, and she held her own among heavyweights. I hear genuine grit and power in her story, the kind that outlasts chart positions.
