"Because of the experience, the San Francisco-based singer and writer specializing in shows featuring music produced by women, says she's always been in awe of a really well written song. To show her appreciation of the prolific female singer-songwriters of the 1960s, Rose's latest show, Pamela Rose's Wild Women of the Sixties! debuts Saturday evening at Alameda's Rhythmix Cultural Works."
"In her impressionable youth, Rose figured the singer-songwriters she saw lived for performing their songs on stage. It wasn't until later when I realized that actually, no, that was just a phenomenon of the '60s and 70s. Rose says most were just hard-working, unassuming professional songwriters going to work in cars or on the subway, lunchbox in hand, cranking out hits at song factories."
Pamela Rose grew up in 1960s Los Angeles half a block from the Troubadour, seeing influential women singer-songwriters like Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro. Attending concerts as a teenager shaped a deep appreciation for well-crafted songs. Rose specializes in shows featuring music produced by women and debuts Pamela Rose's Wild Women of the Sixties! at Alameda's Rhythmix Cultural Works, performing hits and sharing background stories. Many 1960s female songwriters worked as industrious professional writers in song factories, commuting with lunchboxes and balancing domestic expectations; Carole King and Gerry Goffin collaborated on 118 top 10 Billboard hits despite not seeking solo careers.
