Tori Amos

Myra Ellen Amos better known as Tori Amos is an American born (Aug 22) singer, songwriter and pianist. She is best known for the songs "Cornflake Girl" and "Professional Widow." She came to prominence with the release of her first two albums, "Little Earthquakes" and "Under the Pink" (and in off the brown). The latter was #1 on the UK album chart and spawned her top 10 hits "Cornflake Girl" and Pretty Good Year." She had more semi hit singles from her third album, "Boys for Pele" which included "Professional Widow". That song was remixed and spark an accidential change of genre when it first reached #1 on both the UK and US charts in middle of 1996. It would later be re-released in the UK (with the Armand Van Heldon mixes) where it reached #1 on both the main UK and UK dance charts at the start of 1997. She'd go on to have further US Dance #1 hits with "Blue Skies" (1997) and "Jackie's Strength" (1999).
