Amanda McBroom
出生日期 :1946年 8月9日 ，美国加利福尼亚州人
亚曼达，出身演艺家庭，她的父亲 大卫布鲁斯（DavidBruce），是40年代好莱坞影坛相当受到瞩目的 演员，可惜受到外型的限制，始终没有成为真正的大明星，後来在1955年就失望的退出了影坛。亚曼达从小跟着父亲，在好 莱坞长大，而当时又正逢美国音乐剧的全盛时期，在这样双重的影响 下，她也爱上了音乐与戏剧。後来，由於无法忍受父亲的工作与习 性所造成的恶劣家庭关系，她独自离家，开始以创作与卖唱为生，虽 然没有得到唱片公司的赏识，却引起了不少行家的注意，也因而获得机会 ，为「歌声泪痕」谱写主题曲，并且在蓓蒂蜜勒的录音中客串和声。 <BR> <BR> 由於「TheRose」的成功，亚曼达终於引起了唱片界的兴趣 ，但并不是所谓的「五大」，而是向来以「发烧级录音」驰名国际的「 雪菲德实验室」（SheffieldLab）。他们安排她进入着名的「米高梅 」录音室，很大胆的采用了「直接刻片」，也就是不用录音带 、没有事後配唱、更无法重新混音的方式，来录制她的首张专辑「Growing UpinHollywoodTown」，推出之後，优异的演出水准 与突出的录音效果，立刻在「发烧友」的圈子中造成了轰动，也成了一张 经典。这张专辑，是由大师级的钢琴家林肯马友佳（LincolnMayorga） 担任伴奏的，亚曼达除了演唱「TheRose」与「You’veLostthatLovingFeeling」等经典外，还唱出了回忆自己母亲的动人作品 「ThePortrait」。
