Today, I’m handing the show over to Sara Hickman, an artiste I brought to Elektra Records back in 1989. We met at a club in Kansas City and it took only 5 minutes before I decided I wanted to work with her – that voice, her personality, the way she engaged an audience – so I picked up her independent album Equal Scary People for Elektra, and we quickly followed it up with Shortstop, which spawned a top 3 hit on the A/C charts, a couple of appearances on Johnny Carson and her own VH1 special. Since then, Sara’s released about 20 albums and 3 dvds most of which are available at sarahickman.com.
