Biography
Evie Sands is a Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose career began as a young teenager in the mid-1960s. After several near-misses throughout the rest of the decade, and a thoroughly hard time at the hands of the record industry, she eventually saw chart action in 1969, before mostly forgoing live performance in 1979 to concentrate on writing and production. She experienced a fashionable, Brit-led surge in cult popularity beginning in the 1990s and returned to live performance in mid-1998. Sands is still actively recording and performing today.
Evie Sands was the first artist to record the classic song "Angel Of The Morning," but her version was overshadowed by Merrilee Rush's when legal problems rendered Evie's single out of print. She is often referred to as one of the greatest blue-eyed soul singers.
