There’s no question she deserves the recognition she has received for being such an electric performer with FM and on her own. Nowadays, she’s very much the parody of that former self, but still, what she was was incredible and original.
But let’s not pretend she was a pioneer for women’s rights or that her message has ever interrogated gender stereotypes or broken barriers for women. She was a dynamic woman who happened to seek artistic and professional support from the men she paid and/or enchanted into doing her bidding. She has had her “girls” sing with her (to sound like CSN), she had a woman co-writer (Sandy Stewart), a woman who played congas and percussion on her first two tours, and a woman engineer on one or two of her albums. But wouldn’t it have been great if she built up her solo songs with women producers and musicians? Instead, each of her albums comes off sort of like a valentine to whomever she was involved with at the time. |
