Few people who are familiar with Denise LaSalle and her significant contributions to the music industry would dare dispute that the legendary "Soul/Blues" singer/songwriter and producer is easily one of the greatest and most prolific artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Denise LaSalle became a household name in 1971, when her first hit single for Westbound Records, "Trapped by a Thing Called Love," crossed over to the pop charts and went gold. Her second single from that album, "Now Run Tell That," became a million-selling R&B hit. Between the years of 1976 and 1981 she was signed with first ABC Records, and then MCA Records. In 1982 she began her long and hugely successful affiliation with Malaco Records where she recorded the hit songs, "A Lady in the Street," "Down Home Blues," "Don't Jump My Pony," and her 1985 hit and concert favorite, "Don't Mess With My Tutu." Denise's string of successful albums for Malaco included "Right Place -- Right Time," "Love Talking," "Rain and Fire," "It's Lying Time Again," "Hittin' Where It Hurts," "Still Trapped," "Love Me Right," "Still Bad" and "Smokin' In Bed."
