I
recently had the pleasure to talk to Alpha Zoe and she's
a very nice lady. I will have more to add soon
with photo's. ~Spike
It is very
gratifying to learn that people enjoy my singing. I have
been singing since I was three. Mother was an expert
pianist as well as a teacher and Father was a math
teacher and the Tenor in a quartet that travelled from
town to town and sang in churches. I was the only child
and learned to read by playing with my mother's sheet
music to keep my self occupied. We lived way back in the
country of Gallatin (Sumner County) Tennessee. I can
remember that the barn was about one half block from the
house and I would stand in the yard and sing to get an
echo off the barn. I would keep going up in pitch just to
see how high I could go. That was the extent of my
singing training and as it turned out, I can sing from C
below middle C to C above high C. I love and can sing all
types of music. I have a routine that I do for charity
affairs where I do a couple of songs from every venure. I
can even do a little Rap (smiles). The Lord has blessed
me with the ability to hear a song once and be able to
sing it. It has been many years since HIT, but I do
believe that I have been doubled blessed by the fact
that the Gift I received has gotten even
stronger. I often wonder what would have happened
if I had had the right manager and encouragment, but I
could not endure the mental, physical and sexual abuse
and when I turned 18, I stopped singing except, of course
in church. The man that I use to sing for told me that if
I stopped singing for him, he would fix it so I would
never sing in Nashville again. This is Alpha Zoe in a nut
shell. ~ Alpha Zoe
1. Alpha was only 3 years old
when she started singing. She was so small her mother
would stand her in a chair so she could be seen while
singing.
2. Alpha started recording for
Hit Records at 15 years of age.
3. Hit #80, Dot Hester
- "My boyfriend's back" is Alpha singing. She
pinched her nose at the end of the song to give it the
unique "Angels" sound.
4. Alpha would have between 3
hours to overnight to learn the songs she would record.
She didn't need the time however, she only need to hear
the song once and was able to sing it.
5. Alpha Zoe means "First
life" .
