Aloha Friday with Hawaii's YVONNE ELLIMAN
Manage episode 427998916 series 3154925
Yvonne Elliman had it all, in her late teens and early 20s.
Fresh out of Roosevelt High School (Class of 1969), she journeyed to London, where Andrew Lloyd Webber swiftly signed her to do the first commercially successful "concept" album, "Jesus Christ Superstar," in which she sang the role of Mary Magdalene.
That was in the early '70s. The rock opera eventually became a hit Broadway show, then a popular film, and Elliman did both on her way to the big time.
In the "talk story" session, Yvonne shares with host Kamaka Brown what her journey was like from living in Hawaii to being in the spot light with rock legends of the 70's and 80's.
