Continuation/conclusion of conversation and music of singer/songwriter Dory Previn.
Host: Bernadette Cahill
An Arts Content Production
English
Dory Previn's first interview with the media in years, this is Part Two of two editions of "Memories" in which she talks about the inspiration for her songs and that showcase her work.
Abused as a child, Dory Previn started her songwriting career in Hollywood as soundtrack lyricist with composer Andre Previn. In the late 1960's her work became autobiographical, baring her soul and relating her struggle to heal in songs of exquisite imagery, haunting emotions, tremendous melodic variety, delightful humor and pointed irony. Her seven albums, critically acclaimed, attracted a dedicated following. Despite the uniqueness and quality of her work, a short performing career limited exposure. Today, information about her passes from one person to another like some mystery of ancient wisdom.
