JENNIFER WARNES is a true american treasure

The sound of Jennifer Warnes’ voice is immediately recognizable and absolutely unmistakable. As a two-time Grammy Award winner for her duets with Joe Cocker on “Up Where We Belong,” and Bill Medley, on “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” Warnes voice, style and talent continue to defy categorization and genre. Some of her earliest performances were in the late 60’s as a regular member of an amazing ensemble of burgeoning artists, performers and creative thinkers who appeared on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Regarding this time period, Warnes shared that she had a gift for being in the right place at the right time; “I always find myself energetically resonant with certain situations and I just fall into them...the Smothers Brothers was one of them. I stepped up, I sang, they said you’re in! I hung out with the most intelligent, beautiful people.”
