The previously unreleased Singer is a colaboration between composer and arranger Steve Gray, Georgie Fame and Madeline Bell (Blue Mink). A song cycle that follows the fate of a young girl as she at first finds fame and then as things begin to fall apart following stardom, this idea first came about back in 1984. Thirty years later it is finally getting the release it deserves courtesy of NTR Dutch Radio who recorded the live concert in Tilburg, Holland in 2004.
