I'm almost positive it's her, based on the Purple Songs website photos. The bright red lipstick is just throwing me off a little:

Can ya'll believe the number of 'views' this thread has had?!

I think that's a different Sandy Stewart.

A quick Google search gave me these recent pics of "Stevie's" Sandy:

Yeah. These new pics sway me more away from thinking it's her. The lady on the CD doesn't have her "style" at all. But I wasn't sure if she was trying to have a more "jazzy" look for the album. They have similar features, though; the flat-ish face and wide-set eyes.

The link you posted was to a album by an easy listening/cabaret artist called Sandy Stewart. She was popular in the early 60s when she was regularly on TV. That album is a collaboration with her son, Bill Charlap, who is a respected jazz pianist. She's much older than Stevie's Sandy Stewart.

That's definitely not Sandy in the top photo, but it could be her (25 years later!) in the bottom two!

They r all her. she sings w/The Mark Beets Band, aband out of texas. google or YouTube "Mark Beets." that is DEFINATELY her. aged or what?? remember, wild heart, catdancers was 25 yrs ago!! she's got to be at least 50 yrs. old by now..that's being generous

Yes, I found the 2 'Sandy Stewarts' as well.

Obviously the pic with Charlap isn't the one we're discussing.

Plus, neither one in the first pic at the very top of Page 8 looks
like 'our' SS, at least not to me.

Actually, I didn't think anyone in the first shot was Sandy, but if you take the glasses off the gal on the left, well, I think it IS her!!

Fannymac:

Now that you mention it, that could be right!!

I hadn't thought of that either.

She became 51 on January 13.

I never realised she was that much younger as Stevie.

Yup, she was pretty naieve when she met Stevie.

[BG99]

Seriously, I thought she was only a year younger than Kip Winger (who was
born in 1961).

Haven't been able to verify (our) SS' age with any 'celebrity databases.'

That's because she's not a celeb in the true sense of the word. She was born on January 13 1958 in San Francisco.

She's a great writer though and I think that's what her gift to the world has become..more than a performer. Thanks so much Catdancer for that great interview with Sandy and Stevie and the video as well. What a treat...I loved the whole Sandy Stewart time frame in the early 80's ..her music helped romanticize Wild Heart and put a softer edge to the sound of Bella Donna. I will never forget that era..I never realized she was only 25 when Wild Heart came out! Wow! Her voice in interviews sounds so much older!

She had something to do with Bella Donna? I didn't know that.

I like what Sandy contributed to The Wild Heart, especially her synthesizer parts. I know Chris Connelly didn't like it, but Sandy's synth part on If Anyone Falls, along with the guy playing bass, give that song a propulsive energy, like the machine in Contact gathering energy with each revolution. It's a cool part that Stevie herself would never have been able to create on her own.

Never cared at all for her singing voice, however.
