STEVIE LANGE info

Great vocalist, she appears in countless albums. First band I heard of Stevie Lange was the band Night, in November 1978:

Chris Thompson (vocals)
Stevie Lange (vocals)
Robbie McIntosh (guitar, vocals)
Billy Kristian (bass)
Nicky Hopkins (keyboards)
Pete Baron (drums)

Chris Thompson (vocals)
Stevie Lange (vocals)
Robbie McIntosh (guitar, vocals)
Billy Kristian (bass)
Bobby Wright (keyboards)
Bobby Guidotti (drums)

I guess that since then, she hasn't belonged to a band, only singing in studio sessions (many of them, produced by Pip Williams). But she also appears from time to time with The SAS Band (the band assembled by keyboardist Spike Edney. Watch my pages on Neil Murray or Cozy Powell for more info on this band).

She has only released a solo album, but under the name Stevie Vann.

She also appears in a collective, benefit album called Earthrise. Apart from artists such as U2, Paul McCartney, Julian Lennon, there is a track called 'Yes we can', sang by Artists United for Nature (featuring Stevie Lange along with Chris Thompson, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Joe Cocker, Herbie Hancock, Chaka Khan, Brian May, Michael McDonald, Maggie Reilly, Jennifer Rush, Sandra, and others). Other artists appearing in other tracks: David Gilmour, Sam Brown, Big Country, Andy Fairweather-Low, Pink Floyd).
