- Soundtrack
Nancy LaMott was a cabaret singer and recording artist whose career was
cut short when she died of uterine cancer in 1995. Nancy began
performing in her father's band in Midland, Michigan, before moving to
San Francisco in the late 1970s where she became a popular chanteuse in
the Plush Room and other Bay Area nightclubs. She moved to New York in
the early 1980s where she worked as a waitress until she got her big
break performing in a revue called, "It's Better With a Band". Battling
Crohn's Disease and other physical ailments throughout her life, her
career caught fire in the 1990s after an operation brought her symptoms
under control and she could perform regularly in the cabarets and
nightclubs in midtown Manhattan as well as releasing an album a year
during the final five years of her life.
