0 - Karen Newman - sultry vocalist
Detroit native Karen Newman has long been a well-known face in Michigan and is seen regularly as the "Voice of the Detroit Red Wings." The sultry vocalist started singing in high school musicals, eventually ending up performing with a lounge band doing Top 40 tunes. After her lounge act, years of studio work, singing on cruise ships, jingles, nightclub dates, and several winning appearances on Ed McMahon's "Star Search" followed. Karen then landed jobs touring as a backup singer for Bob Seger and Kid Rock, appearing in TV commercials for local radio station WRIF, and eventually sang the "Star Spangled Banner" before a high profile tennis tournament. After some limited engagements singing the national anthem for Detroit Pistons basketball games and Red Wings hockey games, the Red Wings approached her to perform the song before all home games.
