Linda Eder was perhaps the most popular new interpreter of theatrical songs to emerge during the '90s. A disciple of Barbra Streisand early on, Eder gradually forged her own vocal style, and branched out from show tunes to include pop standards, light swing, and adult contemporary balladry in her repertoire. As a stage actress, Eder worked primarily with her husband, composer Frank Wildhorn, who often designed his material specifically for her (and produced her recordings as well). It was Wildhorn's musical adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde that first catapulted Eder to stardom, and she continued to rely on his pen for a good portion of her recorded output, though her albums of the new millennium increasingly broadened her comfort zone.
