This article provides information about the famous American music artist Evelyn Lenton, whose biography is rich in vibrant events and unexpected twists.
The French group Belle Epoque, which included three vocalists, was popular in the late 70s. The idea of creating a trio belongs to the French arranger and composer Albert Wayman. It was he who invited his sister, Evelyn Lenton, to participate in a vocal recording.
Childhood
On December 16, 1945, the future French pop star Evelyn was born in Paris. It would be strange if the girl did not follow in the footsteps of her mother, who during pregnancy performed as part of her father’s pop orchestra. As early as five years old, like Mozart, little Evelyn took her first steps in learning to play the piano. The girls noticed the talent immediately, but her behavior left much to be desired.
In between studies, there were tours where the future star was allowed to perform some songs. And at the age of fourteen, Evelyn Lenton wrote words and music for a group that she herself organized. A genre such as rock and roll did not leave her indifferent. And after some time, the capital's clubs, in which this style was successful, began to invite the girl to perform: first, to warm up the audience, which was not an easy task, and then to participate in the main part of the concert.
Dawn of creativity
In the late sixties, the girl's family moved to their main place of residence in Italy, where Evelyn Lenton immediately began a turbulent creative life. Signed a contract with one of Sony Music Entertainment's record labels. The song Good Golly Miss Molly entered the rating of the best musical number of the month.
The call of her brother, who suggested that Evie try herself for the role of vocalist in the group Belle Epoque, changed her whole life. Girls became popular thanks to the single Black Is Black. The recorded album of Miss Broadway was a breakneck success.
In the USA, the songs of Evelyn Lenton were included in the repertoire of all discos, the records were released in large quantities and sold in all stores. Albert Wayman and Lenton composed a considerable number of songs, and ultimately from the disco style they smoothly switched to writing songs in the rhythm and blues genre.
Conclusion
In the early eighties, at the end of the contract, the girl returned to the career of a solo artist and tried herself in a production role. She also became the owner of her own club, The Belle Epoque Club. Lenton's musical creativity was a stunning success both in Europe and in Central Asia.
