Saturday Dec 6th, I had the pleasure of finally seeing Ms. Adams in concert, after trying for two years! at the IRIDIUM CAFE in New York City.

I have been listening to that awesome voice of hers for the longest while; on records, CD, TV (music choice) channel and now Spotify!The last time she was in NYC, I only found out the same evening and had already had a prior commitment. I was devastated to say the least.

I try to catch her in Maryland, but due to recent surgery was not able to. So when I found out last week on Spotify that she was going to be performing here again, I knew come hell or high water I had to see her. It was more highwater than hell on Saturday night.

Let me just say her performance was all that I expected and more. I had the good fortune to be right in front of the stage...oh what joy! I especially enjoyed her time off of the piano, where she just used the mike and sang. I was quite surprise of her easiness and humor with her audience.

When she sang "Everything Must Change", my whole table was in tears,

My only wish is that she would have sung more of her older (my favorites) songs such as, Hold me for a while; We will meet again and I just had to hear your voice. Overall I had a fantastic evening. I even gave her a tissue to fix her eye makeup. How good was that! :))

Definitely would be seeing her again when she is in this area!

I have never been much of a fan of gospel and soul music but when I picked up an album by the renowned Oleta Adams and I saw that she was going to be playing in my area I felt that I should go. Oleta came to the darkened stage and sat down at her piano and microphone before just the spotlights on her came up. I was sitting in the middle first row in the auditorium ready for the show. People around me were jittery and some were even giving a pray, I assume to wish Oleta good luck during her performance. Although not being much of a religious man, during the set of Oleta I felt almost like the force of God reaching out. It was as if I was attending a great church gospel.

Oleta's piano playing that went along with her voice was very good and I was impressed every second. Her album 'All The Love' was the album that she played most of the material off of during her performance because this album was her newest one at this time. The final song that she played off of this album was the most popular one titled 'I Hope You Dance' and while we could not actually dance to it since we were sitting, we all still enjoyed the song. Oleta bowed for us at the end and we all were clapping for a good five minutes at the end. I was moved by the experience. I had never attended a gospel artist's concert before and I learned that it is something that is an amazing feeling.

What an amazing and charming person she is!!! She started off almost immediately with her musicians...Great range in her voice....wow...they never took and break and continued with solo’s for quartet musicians!

Another thing that impressed me is that she was soo genuine!!! Talked about singing up for social security....which made us laugh!!!

One of the best singers i have had the pleasure of listening too!!! Bravo Oleta....

Oleta used to sing on a regular in a club in Crowne Center in KC, she is such a dynamic, little powerhouse that if you ever experience her, you will never forget her. She is married to her awesome drummer husband, Johnny Cushon, also of KC... Awesome, down to earth, loving, God fearing couple. Talented and genuine.

Superb... Uplifting..Soulful... one of the best performances I have seen in a long time... her strong, clear powerful voice enraptures... I could listen to Oleta Adams All Night Long and then some MORE!!!

Excellent show, wonderful performances by Oleta Adams and the band. She was funny, personable and audience interactive and her voice was phenominal - live sounded just like the album in one take.

Oleta Adams

Oleta Adams  (born May 4, 1953) is an American soul and gospel singer and pianist.

Adams was born the daughter of a preacher and was raised listening to gospel music. In her youth her family moved to Yakima, Washington, which is sometimes shown as her place of birth. She got her musical start in the church.

Before gaining her opportunity to perform, Adams faced a great deal of rejection. In the 1970s, she moved to Los Angeles, California where she recorded a demo tape. However, many music executives were exclusively interested in disco music rather than Adams' preferred style.

With the advice of her singing coach, Lee Farrell, Adams moved to Kansas City where she did a variety of local gigs. Adams started her career in the early 1980s with two self-financed albums which had limited success.

Collaboration with Tears for Fears

In 1985, Adams was discovered by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, founders of the English band Tears for Fears, while she was performing in a hotel bar in Kansas City, Missouri while they were on a US tour. Two years later, they contacted her to invite her to join their band as a singer and pianist on their next album,  The Seeds of Love .

In 1989, the album was released and the single "Woman in Chains", sung as a duet by Adams and Orzabal and with Phil Collins on drums, became her first hit. Adams embarked on a world tour with Tears For Fears in 1990, performing by herself as the supporting artist at the start of each show, and remaining onstage throughout the Tears For Fears set where she would provide piano and vocals.

Following her work with Tears For Fears, Adams was offered a recording contract by their label, Fontana Records, and restarted her solo career in 1990, assisted by Orzabal, who co-produced her new album,  Circle of One . The album received much critical acclaim, and (after a slow start) eventually peaked at #1 in the UK in 1991 after she scored her biggest hit to date with her Grammy nominated cover of Brenda Russell's "Get Here". The song reached the UK and US top 5 and became popular during the 1991 Gulf War conflict as families of deployed troops in the region embraced the tune as a theme song. 1991 also saw Adams sign to independent music publisher Fairwood Music (UK) Ltd. and contribute to the Elton John/Bernie Taupin tribute album,  Two Rooms , on which appeared her version of John's 1974 hit "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me". Adams' version became another top 40 hit in the UK.

Her next album,  Evolution  (1993), was also a commercial success, making the UK top 10. It also featured her self-penned adult contemporary single "Window of Hope". Her 1995 release,  Moving On , saw Adams move more in the direction of R&B, and she also reunited with Roland Orzabal for the duet "Me and my Big Ideas" on the Tears For Fears album  Raoul and the Kings of Spain  the same year. Two years later she released the Christian themed album  Come Walk with Me  where she received a grammy nomination for  Holy Is the Lamb  in 1997.

In 1998, she toured as a guest vocalist on Phil Collins's Big Band Jazz Tour.

In 2001, Adams released her sixth album,  All the Love , a return to an R&B/Adult contemporary sound. The album was re-released in 2004 in Germany with a different title  I Can't Live a Day without You .

In 2004, Adams reunited with Tears for Fears once again as she made a surprise guest appearance onstage at their Kansas City concert, performing "Woman in Chains".

On October 3, 2006, Adams released her first Christmas album, entitled  Christmas Time with Oleta .

On April 21, 2009, Adams released her eighth album entitled  Let's Stay Here .

On February 10, 2017, Adams released her ninth album, her first album in eight years, entitled  Third Set .

Personal life

In 1994, Adams married drummer John Cushon at a United Methodist church in Kansas City, where they both taught Sunday School. They met in 1980 while working on a demo tape for Adams. Adams stated that she never had a passion to get married but on January 17, 1994 she and Cushon were involved in the Los Angeles earthquake. Adams referred to this as a sign from God that she was ready to get married.
