Барбара Мейсон: Американдық соул әншісінің өмірі мен шығармашылығы

Кіріспе

Американдық соул әншісі Барбара Мейсон (9 тамыз 1947 жылы Филадельфия, Пенсильвания, АҚШ-та туған) – 1960 және 1970 жылдары бірнеше R&B және поп хиттері болған американдық соул әншісі, ең белгілісі – 1965 жылы өзі жазған "Yes, I'm Ready" әні. Ол әнші ретінде 1965 жылы шығарған үшінші әні "Yes, I'm Ready" (поп тізімінде 5-орын, R&B тізімінде 2-орын) арқылы үлкен жетістікке жетті. 1975 жылғы "Love's the Thing" альбомынан тағы екі R&B хит-топының құрамына енгеннен кейін Мейсон Buddah Records компаниясынан кетіп, бірнеше кіші лейблмен келісім шарт жасасты. Ол уақыт-уақыт орташа хиттермен чарттарға қайта оралды. Олардың ішінде "Мен сіздің әйеліңізмін, ал ол – сіздің зайыбыңыз" әні бар. 2016 жылы Мейсон әлі де толық салынған залдарда өнер көрсетіп тұрды. Оның соңғы концерті Калифорния штатының Лонг-Бич қаласындағы Терренс театрында өтті. Мейсон 2016 жылдың 1 наурызында Soul Music Hall of Fame-ге енгізілді.
