Today, Amanda McBroom is the greatest songwriter/singer/entertainer in America. She does not need more awards and additional recognition (s). She has more than enough, enough for centuries to come. Nevertheless, the readers and the editorial staff of World Art Celebrities Journal had to reveal their admiration and ultimate respect for this Super Diva; Amanda McBroom, the best of the best, the living immortal legend! So, what they did was very a propos. They elected her as the “INTERNATIONAL WOMAN OF THE YEAR”, America’s best and greatest female singer/songwriter of all time. In addition, recent international polls conducted by WACJ in 125 countries  and questionnaires filled by approximately 500,000 readers and music lovers from around the globe  ascertained that Amanda McBroom has been chosen as among the world’s top 30 best and greatest singers and cabaret stars of all time. Although, in 1979, Amanda McBroom became a world’s celebrity when Bette Midler sang her song “The Rose”, it was Amanda’s performance of her own song and other tunes at various events and places including the Grammy Awards, the FORD Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, The Wolftrap in Virginia, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. (where she sang with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch), Carnegie Hall, New York’s Rainbow and Stars, the Golden Globes, Angel Recital Hall in Sydney, Meyer Hall in Melbourne where she headlined the Festival of the Arts and Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taiwan, Pizza on the Park in London and the Tonight Show that established her as a world class and a super songwriter and singer. Her personal rendition of that song surpassed the Bette Midler version in vocal and artistic qualities. Critics and fans alike,  agreed that the best interpretation of Amanda McBroom’s songs and genius creativity are by Amanda herself, no question asked. An excerpt from her official biography stated:” Amanda was born on the 9^th of August, 1946 in Burbank CA. Cabaret singer and songwriter; actress. Her father was actor David Bruce David Bruce (1914--76), who played a great many second leads in films of the '40s; her memories of him are offered in the touching countrified waltz 'Errol Flynn'. Both recordings were compiled and re-released as AMANDA by Sheffield in 1996.

In 1985 Amanda and her manager Garry George partnered in their own label GECKO RECORDS and released DREAMING in 1986. Under the auspices of Monster Cable Products, Inc. Amanda performed live at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1987. From that performance and the birth of the CD format, DREAMING became a classic around the world especially in SE Asia. GECKO releases followed including MIDNIGHT MATINEE in 1992, A WAITING HEART in 1997 and the “best of” collection PORTRAITS in 1999 released in conjunction with Hal Leonard publishing company’s release of a bound songbook of Amanda’s songs. Her love of and background in musical theatre (she starred in the New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and European productions of JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS, on Broadway in SEESAW, and in SWEENEY TODD, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and MAME) compelled her to create a musical based on her songs. HEARTBEATS made its debut in 1989 in Los Angeles and the play has enjoyed over 15 regional theater productions around the U.S. The original cast recording was released in 1994 on Varese Sarabande Records. The musical is represented by the Rogers and Hammerstein Music library.”
