Lisa Hunt

Lisa Hunt is an American Byron Bay-based soul singer. Hunt rose to fame in Italy as an associated act and backup singer of Zucchero Fornaciari, touring with him from the late 1980s until the 2000s. She has been particularly praised for her collaboration on Zucchero's fifth album ''Oro Incenso & Birra'', and for her subsequent performance in Zucchero's first live album ''Live at the Kremlin'', particularly for her solo in the song "Madre dolcissima". Hunt recorded several songs with Fornaciari, including "Something Strong", from the soundtrack album ''Snack Bar Budapest''. She has released a total four albums, the first, ''A Little Piece of Magic'', with Polydor.

Although better known for her Funk, Soul and Rock style, Hunt also collaborated with several electronic dance music acts, and appeared on many house and electronic records. In January 2005, the single "The Joint is Jumpin'" featuring Hunt peaked at number 5 on the United States ''Billboard'' Dance Club Songs. The single "Unity", a collaboration of John Rizzo, Hunt, and Wanda Houston, peaked at number 27 on the same chart in 2008.

Beside Zucchero, Hunt performed with Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, James Brown, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Macy Gray, Tina Turner, Bryan May, Dolores O'Riordan and Alen Vitasović.

Hunt achieved fame and relative success in Italy, where she has been credited as "one of the most incredible voices of the past years." In Italy, she is said to have performed one of the most intense interpretations of "Imagine". Provided by Wikipedia
