Here’s to Life – A Celebration of Clifford Bell

A Celebration of Clifford Bell: Honoring the Late Cabaret Impresario, Director, and Producer

It was an evening of grace and resonance; she remains one of LA’s most beloved vocalists.

Still singing and kicking up a storm.

Karrant handled ballads well; he has the vocal chops to succeed.

His style was in-your-face tastelessness—sexually vulgar at times, but always original and wickedly funny.

With her velvety contralto and slight vibrato, West knows how to accentuate lyrics using changes in tone and volume.

Appleby’s pleasing voice was mostly delivered in a conversational style to convey the point of the lyrics.

Continues to entertain audiences with powerful vocals, classic song choices and an engaging performance style.

A brilliant reminder that true artistry is still alive and thriving.
