Singer, actress,
comedienne, and columnist Ms. Gennifer Flowers is back in Las Vegas and is
loving every minute!!
Flowers was
invited to perform in Vegas in a variety show the first part of
last year and decided at that time to move back to Las Vegas from
New Orleans, Louisiana.
Gennifer had
enjoyed several years of success in her own nightclub in the New
Orleans French Quarter called The Gennifer Flowers Kelso Club in
which she sang and performed to audiences from all over the world
every night. But, two storms changed her life…one was Katrina and
the other was a divorce.
Since starting
a professional singing career some 40 years ago, Flowers was
determined not to be deterred by difficult times but was
determined to continue her career and life. Critics and fans alike
agree that a smile and a song is what Gennifer Flowers is known
for now!
Her career
accomplishments are impressive. Like many powerful rhythm and
blues’ singers, her musical beginning was deeply rooted in gospel.
By the age of eleven she had made her first recording on the
United Southern Artist label.
After taking
her show on the road for many years, she received her first break
being chosen from over 1500 applicants to be a part of the
international Roy Clark Show in 1978. Then, going solo, followed
Las Vegas engagements and various club dates around the country.
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Rick Bragg had this to say in the cover article of
the New York Times in 2002 about Ms. Flowers ability to deliver a
ballad: “When she gets to the chorus, when she sings the simple
words ‘teach me tonight’ grown men blush and grin like idiots and
schoolboys; then the room fills with applause for the singer, Gennifer Flowers!”
Since returning to Las Vegas, Flowers has enjoyed resuming her
media and singing career. She stays active on the speaking
circuit, as well, and enjoys counseling men and women through
her popular advise column, "Ask Gennifer with a G." found on the
premier Vegas web site, Vegas Community Online. Flowers has not
only survived but thrived even though the odds were against her
after a l992 Presidential scandal rocked her world. She has
become internationally known as a survivor and roll model to
women and men around the world.
Most recently, Flowers is working on her second book which should
be finished by the spring of 2008. Her first best seller,
Passion and Betrayal was introduced in l995, but is still a
favorite to readers.
Ms. Flowers stays very involved and active in the Las Vegas
community and is a popular feature in the Vegas social scene.
To sum up the
present and the future for Ms. Flowers, two media sources said it
best:
“While her
story is known the world over, what everyone has now discovered is
that Flowers is immensely talented.” Kenny Live – RTI, Dublin
“Gennifer
Flowers: Still blooming after all these years.” La Prensa de
Miami
