Springfield
Carole Fredericks (1996)
Gospel music and the Blues are sisters in song. Both genres are the issue of the Negro Spirituals and both share worldwide popularity. If Gospel music sings of the grace of God, the Blues denotes the difficulties and challenges of life. They tell the same story, one from a secular point of view and the other from a spiritual perspective…both with genuine and often brutal honesty. There are lessons to be learned from each. Every once in awhile a voice will come along that reveals the depth of kinship between Gospel and Blues music. The late Carole Fredericks was such a voice. In 1996, she released the album Springfield as a testament to the intimate bond between Gospel, Blues and the human condition.

Couleurs Et Parfums
Carole Fredericks (Reissue 2008)
These precious recordings represent not only an extremely adventurous musical career but also the end of that career, tragically cut short by the death of Carole Fredericks at just 49 from a heart attack in 2001. It was obvious that Carole was a determined and strong-minded individual when, aged 27 in 1979, she decided to emigrate from California to France, on the urgings of patrons of a French restaurant in San Francisco where she used to sing in order to make ends meet.
Listen to this album with open ears and, more importantly, an open heart and you will
understand how Carole Fredericks has touched so many people through her life and ultimately through the lasting legacy of her music - Tant qu’elle chante, elle vit - As long as she sings, she lives.
