Debbie Gibson Body Mind Soul

Debbie Gibson began 1992 by stepping into the role of Eponine in Broadway's Les Miserables, inaugurating a stage career that's since encompassed three more Broadway shows and many more regionally and abroad.  While appearing nightly at the Imperial, the singer-songwriter was still juggling the demands of a pop career.  In June, three months after wrapping up her stint in Les Mis, Gibson was back in the studio.  Her fourth and final album for Atlantic Records, Body Mind Soul was released in

Prince, Do Me, Baby (Demo) (NPG/Warner) (iTunes / Amazon / Spotify) A surprise release on Thursday for the 40th anniversary of Prince's Controversy (1981), the Prince Estate has issued a demo recording of "Do Me, Baby," recorded during the studio sessions for Prince's self-titled sophomore album in 1979. (As such, it sounds less like a demo and more like a studio version in league with that album.) It's a fascinating recording that again highlights The Purple One's genius - and it's also

Debbie Gibson WCBT

Three decades ago, a 17-year-old girl from Brooklyn quite literally came from out of the blue with an infectious blend of pop that was all her own. Now, two different labels are celebrating Debbie Gibson's classic catalogue with a double-disc collection and a no-holds-barred box set. Gibson, the third of four girls born to a family of music lovers, was writing and recording her own material before she reached her teens. In 1986, her demo "Only In My Dreams" earned her a development deal at
