Jane Olivor
Jane Olivor (born May 18, 1947) is an American cabaret singer. She was initially compared, often favorably, to Barbra Streisand and Edith Piaf.〔(Jane Olivor Conquered Fear, Loss to Resume Career - News Tribune, May 13, 1994 )〕〔("No More Vanishing Act" )〕 After releasing five albums from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, her stage fright, anxieties over her rapid success, and her husband's illness and death caused her to take a 10-year hiatus from her career. Reviving her performing and recording career in the early 1990s, she released five more albums from 1995 through 2004. Since 2009, she has been retired from the public eye.
==Early career==
Olivor was born as Jane Cohen〔(iTunes Preview, Apple Inc., retrieved November 22, 2010 )〕 in Brooklyn, New York and reportedly grew up with a background in folk music, although her particular influences, she has claimed, were Johnny Mathis and Gene Pitney; the latter appeared on her 2000 album, ''Love Decides.''〔(Love Decides ), allmusic, retrieved February 27, 2008〕
In her early days as a performer, Olivor played such venues as Brothers & Sisters and The Ballroom. She became known, notably among the gay community, for her interpretations of famous songs such as "Some Enchanted Evening" from the Broadway musical ''South Pacific'' and "Come Softly to Me", the 1959 chart selection by The Fleetwoods.〔(Jane Olivor – Biography ) at AllMusic〕
Credited as "Janie Olivor, stage performer", an early performance is captured in the 1975 film ''Saturday Night at the Baths'', an independent film shot at the infamous Continental Baths where, among others, Bette Midler got her start.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0257099/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm )〕 In the film, historically important for its footage both of the bathhouse and of Olivor herself, Olivor sings an early version of "Pretty Girl". Written by Olivor with Kathy Wakefield, "Pretty Girl" latered appear on Olivor's ''In Concert'' and ''Safe Return'' albums.
