Women In Music Day is our
new celebration - giving all women who work in the music industry the opportunity to celebrate their true worth.
From Secretary to singer, from receptionist to roadie... we want to remember all the hard work that goes into the behind the
scenes efforts of those who work toward progressive change in an industry where women have struggled to be recognised
for their efforts and hard work.
As we join hands across the globe, we want you to acknowledge your worth...invest
in the Women In Music Day Ribbon And Rose - the emblem uniting all females roles within the industry.
With a global
effort, we can make give acknowledge to all those who went before us....Billie Holliday, Salina, Aaliyah, Mama Thornton
(original singer of the song Hound Dog, later covered by Elvis) Bessie Smith (an influence for Janis Joplin), Celia Cruz,
Dusty Springfield, Dinah Shore, Dinah Washington, Edith Piaf (her song La Vie En Rose has been covered by NUMEROUS artists
of various genres), Elizabeth Cotten, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta Baker, Eva Cassidy, Florence Ballard (fomerly of the Supremes)
Judy Garland, June Pointer (founding member of the Pointer Sisters), June Carter Cash, Kristen Pfaff (of the group Hole),
