William Shakespeare

Pericles is a journey. At the beginning, there’s an old man with
a story to tell, and a young man with a riddle to solve. Fourteen years
later, after shipwrecks and resurrections, palaces and brothels, marriagebeds
and murders, the story is finally told; the journey has been made –
and the riddle is answered in a blaze of light.

Best known for her '78 blessing-and-a-curse hit "Stay With Me Till
Dawn", that song, combined with her being on Eltons John's Rocket
Recrds Label, pigeonholed her as a lightweight pop act. Over the course
of 11 albums on at least six European labels, Tzuke has shown herself
to be a songwriter of depth and beauty far beyond that misconception (as
evidence, this writer first heard about her in an interview/profile in
a Kate Bush fanzine). Unlike Bush's eclectic and experimental puruits,
Tzuke is a bit more grounded in a popish rock format, but her rich, breathy
and deep voice is every bit as seductive without the quirkiness.
