with Tori Amos on Oct 19, 1999
Tori Amos is an American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and is noteworthy as one of the few modern pop music stars to use a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for lyrically opaque but emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion, patriarchy and personal tragedy. Some of her charting singles are “Crucify”, “Silent All These Years”, “Cornflake Girl”, “Caught a Lite Sneeze”, “Professional Widow”, and “Spark”. Other significant recordings include “Me and a Gun”, “Winter”, “God”, “Playboy Mommy” and “A Sorta Fairytale”.
Amos has experienced limited chart success in the United States and the United Kingdom, but has enjoyed a large cult following, selling around 12 million albums worldwide during her solo career.
