This is a thread about music. All kinds of music: classical, jazz, blues, rock, folk, film music... any kind you can think of. The questions can be about anything related to music: about composers, musicians (performers), styles/periods, musical forms, musical instruments, or about particular pieces or songs.

I'll start with a person.

No, not folk. She was a solo singer and (to me at least) had the most beautiful voice outside opera.

True:

1. Woman
2. American
3. Performer
4. Genre: other
5. 1920s-1970s
6. Singer
7. Solo

False:

1. None of the genres above
2. Folk
3. In a band

Was her public life scandalous?
Was she married?

I don't know if she played an instrument, I never heard or saw her playing one. Her instrument was her voice. No, her life was far from scandalous, and she was married (and divorced several years later). She appeared in several movies, and she toured all over the United States and made one (as far as I know) tour in Europe.

True:

1. Woman
2. American
3. Performer
4. Genre: other
5. 1920s-1970s
6. Singer
7. Solo
8. Was married
9. Appeared in films
10. Tours

False:

1. None of the genres above
2. Folk
3. In a band
4. Didn't play an instrument (to my knowledge)
5. Didn't lead a scandalous life

Did she sing in her films?
Did she sing the theme song to any movies?

Did she die after or before 1975?

Yes, she sang in her films, but I don't remember if she sang any of the theme songs. She died in 1972.

Hint: all her songs belong to only one genre, she refused to sing anything else. Another hint: she played an important part in the civil rights movement.

Besides Rosa Parks, Martin Luthor King Jr or Malcom X, I can't think of any people from the civil rights movement...

Gospel eh...

Were her movies religious?
Was she religious?

Does she have any children?
Are they well-known today?

She sang at many major events during the civil rights movement.
The movies were not religious, at least the main theme was not religion, but the songs were, and so was she. She did not have any children.

Hint: she was called the queen of gospel.

I've known who she was from yesterday, when I decided to test my googling skills :) But, you know, if anybody can guess usig their memory (which I really haven't got much of :), I'll wait :) Also, I REALLY don't want to have to be the person giving out the clues...I know I'll be awful at it, especially since I have no idea who to even think of :) I'll probably pull out some random name I saw in the papers, somebody I know absolutely *nothing* about...that ought to yield some pretty interesting clues ;)
