Baker released her debut solo album, "The Songstress", in 1983. Markham already had a national reputation as a burlesque dancer and songstress. The two worked together to create a more progressive pop sound for the indie songstress. The piano-driven track is peppered with layered vocals from the songstress. Also performing were Shaggy, Wayne Marshall, Assassin/Agent Sasco, and fellow reggae songstress Alaine. Evans' lyricism is well suited to a breezy, sophisticated songstress like Monica Zetterlund. He is a big success, teamed with songstress Anita. She was named after the Indonesian songstress Hetty Koes Endang. Others who released records in this subgenre included the Battersea songstress Winsome and Kofi. Songstress Jordan Pruitt and girl group KSM joined on select dates. Widow and former songstress Carol Petersen lives alone in California with her dog, Hazel. Vera Lynn and Welsh songstress Dorothy Squires. He is the father of songstress Melly Goeslaw. He has also worked with UK songstress Elkie Brooks. In addition, the label delayed work on Baker's follow-up of "The Songstress".
