Joan Armatrading
Joan Armatrading - an English singer, lyricist, and guitarist was born in December 1950, in Basseterre, Saint Kitts.

Joan Armatrading moved with her family to Birmingham, England in 1958. Her first job was working at Rabone Chesterman in Birmingham and was dismissed from the job because she insisted in bringing her guitar to work, and playing during tea breaks. In the early 70s she moved to London to perform in a theatre production of Hair (musical). There she met Pam Nestor, with whom she began writing songs. They worked together on the album Whatever's for Us, released on the Cube label in 1972. Cube, but due to various tensions they broke up of this musical partnership, resulting in a period of inactivity for Armatrading while she extracted herself from her contract with Cube Records.

In 1975 she signed for A&M, and issued Back to the Night, which was promoted on tour with a six-piece jazz-pop group called The Movies. Joan credited up and coming UK singer Elkie Brooks on the sleeve notes as she had cooked for Joan and the band in the studio while making the album, which was produced by Elkie's then husband Pete Gage. In 1976, with the involvement of producer Glyn Johns led to her next self-titled album into one of the top best sellers of the year, featuring the hit single Love and Affection. The album mixed acoustic work with jazz-influenced material, and this style was retained for the 1977 follow-up Show some Emotion, which was also produced by Glyn Johns as was 1978's To the Limit. These albums included songs which continue to be staples of Armatrading's live shows, including Willow, Down to Zero and Kissin' and a Huggin. A live album Steppin' Out in 1979 showcased her well-honed stage act.

In 1980 Armatrading drastically modified her playing style and released Me, Myself, I, a harder pop-oriented album produced by Richard Gottehrer. The same pop style was also evident on the 1981 album Walk under Ladders and 1983's The Key which produced a hit in the single Drop the Pilot.

She brought assorted musical styles over decades of recording and performing. She has scored several UK hit singles, the biggest of which were Love & Affection, Me Myself I and Drop the Pilot. Generally, her music is mostly pop with forays into rock, folk, jazz, and even reggae.
