There are no words to truly describe the phenomenal Pamala Stanley...
By the age of ten, Pamala had recorded her first three singles, and by seventeen, she began her solo career. After moving to New York in 1977, and finding additional success in national commercial work, Pamala landed a recording contract with EMI in Germany and began touring extensively. While recording in Berlin, Pamala wrote the album "This Is Hot" with Joachim Heider, her producer, and David Zipple. Pamala spent the next year touring and promoting her album throughout Europe. Eventually signing with EMI America, Pamala released "This Is Hot" in 1979. This single reached #13 on US Disco charts and received great acclaim in Europe, Mexico and South America.
In 1983, Pamala's single, "I Don't Want To Talk About it," written by her brother, James Lee Stanley, shot up to #13 on the Billboard Disco charts. This set the stage for tours throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada, and introduced Pamala to national television shows like Solid Gold. Her next single, "Coming Out of Hiding," reached the Top 5 in 1984 on the Disco charts. "Coming Out Of Hiding" was #4 for the year in 1984 on the same Billboard charts, and the video received extensive worldwide airplay on networks, including MTV, and on shows like Top 40 Videos. In 1986, Pamala's "If Looks Could Kill" single reached the top 20 in the Disco charts. This song also received wide publicity with its inclusion in the Schwarzenegger film, "Raw Deal." Pamala topped off the 80's by re-releasing "Coming Out Of Hiding – The Sequel" on CD, which included the amazing singles, "Got The Fever" and "Body Time."
In 1992, Pamala stormed Las Vegas and blew away audiences at the Hilton, Sands and Riviera with her sensational voice and irrepressible style. While performing in Vegas, Pamala was offered a headlining spot at Club Evangeline in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Two years later, she formed the widely popular Pamala Stanley Band – the hottest New Orleans Boogie Band in So. Florida. PSB stopped traffic on Las Olas with its Blues Jazz style, and in 1996, responding to demand, the Pamala Stanley Band released "'Live and Cookin'." This upbeat, live, outdoor concert CD wowed the critics and added fuel to Pamala's reputation for excellence. In 1997, Pamala made a critical career decision and left PSB to go solo.
Demand for her astounding talents as a blues and jazz artist swelled as she performed throughout South Florida. Once again, responding to demand for her music, Pamala released "It's All In The Game," a CD filled with Jazz classics recorded with the Eddie Higgins Quartet.

Amanda Lear (born 18 November 1939 is a French singer, lyricist, composer, painter, TV presenter, actress and novelist. She is the daughter of an Englishman and a Russian exile. Currently she lives in Saint-Étienne-du-Grès, France near Avignon in the south.
She studied art in Paris and in the 60s moved to London. During this period she got to know the most prominent designers, musicians and artists belonging to the artistic circles she frequented. Her preferences were predominantly for the Surrealist movement and for bodily expression, as she had also studied mime. The meeting with Salvador Dali changed her life.
In the following 15 years she became the muse and confidant of the great artist and his wife Gala. She lived in their house in Cadaquès (Spain) and accompanied them when they moved to New York and Paris in the winter. Dali became her mentor, allowing her to work alongside him and teaching her all he knew about art.
He took her to visit all the great museums of the world, acting as her guide.
In 1975 … encouraged by boyfriend David Bowie … who paid for singing and dancing lessons, Lear decided to launch a career in music. She became famous throughout the world as a pop singer having soared to celebrity when her first song entered the international hit parades, yet this did not lead her to neglect her passion for painting.
In 1980 she had her first show in Rotterdam. Encouraged by the success of this and the publicity generated by the media, she went on to display in Paris, Berlin, Milan and Geneva, attracting the attention of the European collectors. She likes to recall the fact that she waited 20 years before having the chance to show her paintings and she is grateful to Dali for having been her friend and teacher. Pop icon Amanda Lear has recorded 15 studio albums and has released some 60 singles to date and has so far sold approximately 15 million albums and 25-30 million singles worldwide.
