This page is dedicated in loving memory to
(Debra Deah Dame Hurd), (9/20/58-6/27/94 who
launched Laface
records by being the very first artist signed to
the label, and then Damian teamed up with her.
She was blessed with a wide vocal range,
beautiful voice, dancing talents, good
looks, nice figure, very proffessional
attitude and a down to earth
personality. She didn't even want to be in
the spotlight at all times, being the center
of attention. With all these qualities, she
managed to stay real, with a nice
disposititon (so all the rest of you
beautiful and talented people, take heed. In
conclusion, she was an all around role model.
May she now sing with the
choir of angels. RIP- Your fans all around the
world miss, love and won't forget you, Deah.
All sound clips are wav clips,
because everyone can hear them, where
some people can't hear certain types of real
audio. So, this means that it will take
longer to download, so please have (patience saidith the Lord)
All clips are about 30 seconds or more, and
sometimes cut off short, so you may have to
do it twice to hear it all.(sorry about that-I haven't a clue why that happens). It's best heard and plays correctly and completely with netscape navigator.
All songs were written by Deah Dame/Music by Damian
except
for "When I'm crying , but it's a solo of
her, so I decided to put it on her page, and
also "Guess U didn't know", which is on
Damian's solo album, and is an important
dedication song to her.
Thanks for visiting and paying your respects. If you come
across this page first,
you can click on my Damian Dame link to read
more about Deah's music career, etc. If you'd like a copy of her first self titled solo album, I'd he happy to make you a copy. Hopefully in the future I can put some sound clips on this page. Please report any broken links, or sound problems to me.
