"I never signed kids to records, but I felt that there was an adult soul in a young body," Iglauer said " "It wasn't 'boy is she good at 17,' it was just 'boy, is she good,'" he said "My father was a very big, important part of my life," she said C " Rock 'n' roll has been a big influence on Copeland, and she recognizes it for how it incorporated the blues and expanded the blues audience As she got older, he brought her on stage "Had she been 40 and singing that way, I would have signed her anyway " Home also was in Harlem, whose violent streets claimed some of her friends, while others became mothers too soon "Thank God for the Stones and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin because they brought so many people now in their 40-somethings and 50-somethings back to blues music, because nobody cared until they heard Mick singing it," she said Now touring to support her third CD on Alligator Records, "Talking to Strangers," Copeland already has been nominated for a Grammy Award and won four W I wasn't allowed to hang outside, although I really wanted to," she said " Shoes are on the list ("I could open my own shoe store right now"), but fame and stardom are not "I'm singing about young, up-tempo things and it's really my way of bending the blues without breaking it," she said "At that point, I just wanted to be at the show, see it and see what everybody's been talking about for 40 years That is what attracted Alligator owner Bruce Iglauer when he saw her at 17 in a New York club on the recommendation of a friend Her mother was more inclined to let young Shemekia and brother Tory slide She adores him for his role as a father The elder Copeland, who survived eight heart surgeries, but not the ninth, took her to blues shows She can roar with power, drop it into soul overdrive or put it all the way into low-gear smoky ballad "I lived in the house with him my whole life growing up She acknowledges his role in nurturing her as a performer Handy Awards, the highest prize in the blues recording industry "Everything was going on right outside, but I had my own special world inside my home that was filled with music and good family and people "People think I'm hoarse and my voice is gone all the time when they speak with me just in conversation because I have such a quiet voice," she said in a recent interview in Chicago, where she opened for the Rolling Stones Growing up, Copeland was encouraged to sing at home by her father, Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Clyde Copeland "He knew this was what he was supposed to be doing and what he said he would do, and that, I think, made me just go for what I wanted," Copeland said In September, Copeland got to check one item off her wish list when she opened for the Stones at a small club in Chicago I'm not singing about that stuff When it's house lights down, spotlights up and Copeland behind the microphone, there's a voice with such authority and authenticity that it belies the age of its owner Copeland's parents were together until her father's death in 1997, and she now lives with her mother, Sandraa Lynn Copeland, in Lake Harmony, Pa I never thought it would become a reality, but it did," she said Copeland plans to stay true to her blues roots, while celebrating her femininity and independence, and incorporating different styles into her repertoire "I'd say he'd be really, really proud sometimes â€â€? and sometimes he'd want to slap me, too," she said, laughing softly Obviously, those people haven't heard her on stage She wants to make a jazz record and act on Broadway and in film; she already had a cameo appearance in the 1999 movie "Three to Tango She has a long list of things she wants Asked about her success, she characteristically looks back to her father Copeland Sends Message to Blues Oct 30, 12:39 PM EST CHICAGO (AP) â€â€? Ask Shemekia Copeland and she will tell you she is shy about her voice, so shy that she dislikes leaving messages on telephone answering machines OK, but the 23-year-old singer is sending a loud and clear message from the blues world Not so her father, whom she credits with teaching her honesty, responsibility and a strong work ethic " Iglauer was so impressed with her demo that he included two songs from the session on her first disc, 1998's "Turn the Heat Up No matter "I'm 23 years old and I'm not singing about picking cotton in a cotton field, you know, my man done left me, I'd rather go blind When he was home, home was with me "I've been saying it for five years The Stones arrived as Copeland was finishing her short set, so she never met them aspx?c=179782 class="art">Jeremy's has almost reached mullet level) msads All they do is fight, and they have absolutely no on-screen chemistry Doug and Carol</STRONG> on <EM>ER</EM> in "Such Sweet Sorrow": As =/artist/?artist=100787 class="art">Don Henley's song =/album/?song=1149176&album=114796 class="art">"Taking You Home" played, Carol rushed to be with the man that she loved Brandon and Tracy</STRONG> on <EM>Beverly Hills, 90210</EM>: Poor Tracy, do you think she ever knew that she only existed so Brandon could dump her and get back together with Kelly Standing out on the dock, Doug kissed the woman he had redeemed himself for and asked the simple question, "Where are the girls?"
