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 retiring from 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. She's still actively recording and performing today. Biography Evie Sands was born and raised in Brookyln to music-loving parents, and fulfilled sooner than expected her mother's intuition that, "this baby will come out singing". After cutting two singles on obscure labels (ABC 10458 - The Roll / My Dog ? 1963, and Gold 215 - Danny Boy, I Love You So / I Was Moved ? 1964), she signed to Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's Blue Cat Record
