Zulema Cusseaux


(3 janvier 1947 – 30 septembre 2013)


Je viens de lire l'info sur fb.

So deeply, deeply sad to learn of the passing of my friend Zulema Cusseaux. I first met Zulema in 1975 in New York as the correspondent for Blues & Soul magazine and we became instant friends. I have so many cherished memories of spending time with her over the few years that followed and we were briefly back in touch in the mid-90s when I was responsible for the reissue of "The Best Of Zulema" through Ichiban Soul Classics. I will be posting a tribute to her at SoulMusic.com. May she rest in peace after several decades of personal challenges. Meanwhile, in memory, this YouTube video.

Mince aucune news n'a filtré sur les pages de FB pourtant promptes à relayer ces informations. 30 septembre... 11 jours, une éternité en 2013...
Pas qu'on soit pressé d'apprendre les mauvaises nouvelles, mais çà montre que certains artistes sont un peu oubliés quand même.
Ses LP's s'étaient échelonnés entre 1972 et 1978 puis plus rien, à part sa collaboration avec ZALMAC (LP et deux maxis) sur "Friends" et "What's In It For Me"...

What's In It For Me une merveille de petit boogie

C'est pas vrai !

Pffff....

R.I.P. Lady Zulema.

Elle n'a pas eu la carrière qu'elle méritait.
Membre fondateur de Faith, Hope and Charity, elle aura gravé six albums solos plus celui sous le nom de Zalmac.
Je retiens surtout d'elle sa participation de 1972 au Push Expo de Chicago : This Child Of Mine (titre que l'on retrouve sur ce double album Motown) et sa prestation parisienne du 27 novembre 1979 au Palace.

Now at SoulMusic.com, my personal tribute to Zulema Cusseaux, who sadly passed away on September 30. One of the most underrated and amazing artists I ever had the privilege to know - and call a friend. Sadly missed. My gratitude to my friend Pierluigi Sakura Avorio for letting me know about Zulema's passing and Kevin Goins for sending me her obituary.
