Trudy Lynn, was awarded with the prestigious Koko Taylor Award at the Jus blues Music Awards 2011. She performed a medley of Down Home Blues and Wang Dang Doodle. I’ve seen and heard a many perform the two songs before. She had taken it to another level, the Trudy Lynn’s level. As I sat in my chair in awe, in a room full of Stars, I was trying to figure out what was going on up on that stage. Was it the sparkling red dress and red and black hair style to match. At that moment I knew why she wore that dress. I watched her work the stage and the audience. Every move that she made was deliberate to accentuate the design of her gown in sync with the stage lights that played off of the sequence in her gown. Just elegant and classy. A scene out of a classic movie, I thought.
The clarity, quality and conviction of her voice as she sang, knowing just how to work the acoustics of the auditorium. Wow! What power! What soul! What a diva! A true entertainer at best. Just doing what came to her so naturally. She had it all, voice, talent and the look and that special something that her audience felt, saw, heard and believed. A gripping power she had over the audience when she hit the stage until the MC had to cut it off after she had long gone. What a spectacular performance. No pyrotechnics, fog machines or any other special effects. Just real pure Trudy, the essence in what makes her a Star. Loved it, loved it. loved it. A diva in effect.
