Sit back and enjoy the "Deja Vu" inspiring song from PRIMORDIAL LOVERS that David Crosby saw magic in. He'd smartly request it whenever he saw Essra, which was a lot, as she (and Joni Mitchell) shared the same manager as C,S & N.

Next, "Deja Vu" euphemistically became the title that spawned a hit Song, a #1 studio and live Album and even a concert Movie 38 years later. And yet no credit or thank you has ever been given to Ms. Mohawk.

"I Have Been Here Before" was recorded in the Fall of 1969 and PRIMORDIAL LOVERS dropped in May of 1970. Rolling Stone called it "one of the 25 best albums of all time" and Rhino christened it as the Mother Album of "grrrl power." Hear the excellent "I Am the Breeze"@ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYgCpwUn0Cc See Mohawk perform in Philadelphia @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y_GUnLk70k

Notably, Mohawk was in Frank Zappa's band, toured with Jerry Garcia, gave Joni Mitchell singing lessons and a description of Woodstock that inspired Joni to write "Woodstock." She and Bonnie Bramlett duet on "The Moment" from Mohawk's YOU'RE NOT ALONE @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUNkWEEPEtw

She also penned Cyndi Lauper's "Change of Heart," Tina Turner's "Stronger Than The Wind" and Lisa Fischer's "So Intense."
