The Life and Tragic Ending of Norma Tanega

The Life and Tragic Ending of Norma Tanega
First known for her bouncy 1966 hit "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog," singer/songwriter, experimental musician, teacher, and painter Norma Tanega had a longer and more complex career than that song might suggest.

Would it hurt to have a real blood and guts human being narrate this wonderful gifted and beloved artist’s work?

[jandphoenix]

Her lasting narrative should not be a robot

[zyrrhos]

"She made songs on her own terms." "By the 2010s, Tanega was recognized as a free spirit and an innovator and the reputation of her earlier music had grown." "Tanega had a long career as a teacher." Such a sad ending.

I'm always somewhat bemused by auto-voiced narration ...

[mickalidem]

It is practically word for word from Wikipedia.

[randominc]

Did they hire 1-800-VOICE-OVER to narrate this?

[tiki_trash]

Does anyone have a link to a video that doesn't have a robot voice? This sucks.

I bought several of her collaborative CDs from her and liked them, although they had little to do with her folk and pop music or collaborations with Dusty Springfield. If she had performed live in the nineties or 2000's/2010's I would have been there for certain.

I'm in the UK. There was never a show called Ready. Steady. Go. It was called Ready Steady Go.

I was 15 when "Walking my cat named dog"..my next cat I got was named Dog, and my next dog named Cat.

"While We Do in the Shadows"? Nice research work there.

That was not a tragic ending. This woman deserves a much better biography than this one.

Most of the images used have almost NO relation to what the A.I. voice is saying. It's like the "voice" is reading a Wiki page and some intern is inserting images they found elsewhere. NEXT!

[PutonRepeat]

Damn, I am so hard pressed to find much information on this artist and would appreciate it if one of the few pieces of information I have wasn't narrated by text to speech.

[roijax]

Interesting - she is like a forerunner of Laurie Anderson, but without the visuals.

[inranglhood]

The real tragedy is this artificial narrator...

Ehat an amazing contributor to music and humankind.
