Vikki Carr Scholarship Foundation Announces 2010 Scholarship Recipients

San Antonio, Texas - May 26, 2010: San Antonio resident and multi-Grammy Award winning singer Vikki Carr and the Board of Directors of the Vikki Carr Scholarship Foundation, have selected four outstanding high school seniors from throughout the state of Texas for this years scholarship awards. 

2010 marks the 39th year that VCSF has given scholarships to Mexican-American high school seniors, first in California and now in Texas. Past recipients have gone on to graduate from the nation's top colleges and universities, some going on to become teachers, doctors and lawyers, including a California Superior Court Judge.

"Even after all of these years, the students never cease to amaze me. Seeing their optimism and their strong will to overcome financial and personal obstacles, especially in this day and economic age, has really strengthened my resolve in our youth, our future and the future of our great country." says Carr, who established the foundation in 1971 with a group of friends. 

Recipients are as follows: 

Ricardo Escobar, Burbank High School, San Antonio, Texas Ricardo will be attending the University of North Texas majoring in Fashion Design

Ana Gabriel and Vikki Carr

Emociones
Producer(s): Chuck Anderson
PolyGram Latino 533 489
Genre: LATIN

Originally reviewed for week ending 10/26/96

A tasteful blend of traditional Mexican rhythms, Mexican-laced pop, and big band, this stylish label premiere by the classy torch specialist who notched a Grammy earlier this year contains 12 gems from noted songsmiths Roberto Carlos and Manuel Alejandro. Lush ballads, such as lead single "Emociones" and "En Carne Viva," are ideal for pop and recurrent radio, while regional Mexican stations might warm to uptempo mariachi/pop entries "Qu No Se Rompa La Noche" and "Los Amantes." 

Brindo A La Vida, Al Bolero, A Ti
Producer(s): Fernando Riba, Kiko Campos
Sony Latin 80942
Genre: LATIN

Originally reviewed for week ending 12/5/92

Carr's likable tribute to the overpopular bolero genre showcases her high-voltage pipes swimming through a lushly produced collection of bittersweet love odes, several of which were penned by the likes of masterful composers Maria Grever & Augustin Lara, and Vinicius De Moraes. Hit singles abound, including "Tuya Soy," "Yo Se Que Te Voy Amar," "Si Tu No Estas," plus "Una Mujer" and "Nadie" -- both arranged by redoubtable arranger/pianist Bob Florence. 

The Golden Songbook
Producer(s): none listed
United Artists UA LA089-F2
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 9/8/73

Vikki's formative years were at Liberty where she cut this fine selection of meaningful pop tunes. Time and interest ran out on her at UA after they had purchased Liberty. Her clean, heart-tugging style is very evident on all these tunes of the 60's. Best cuts: "My Melancholy Baby," "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "Never My Love." 

Ms. America
Producer(s): none listed
Columbia AL 32251
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 6/16/73

The cover of this excellent example of how to properly sing pop songs, depicts Vikki in casual attire. So we now know she is part of the casual set, and there is a casual, natural feel to all of the repertoire on this package. She is a delicate, sensitive interpreter of lyrics, a time tested veteran whose works today are totally tied to the best of contemporary material. Jimmie Haskell has fashioned the proper balance of lushness and driving intensity in his orchestral arrangements--arrangements which compliment Vikki's voice and add a gleen to the music. Vikki sounds super on the multi-tracked tunes, harmonizing with herself like the pro she is. Best cuts: "Killing Me Softly With His Song," "Rescue Me," "Neither One of Us." Dealers: Vikki is gaining momentum as a stellar pop vocalist after all these years. She is an important artist who deserves in-store display. 

En Espanol
Producer(s): none listed
Columbia KC 31470
Genre: INTERNATIONAL

Originally reviewed for week ending 8/26/72

The dealer can expect some regular pop sales on this LP, strictly on the name value. And the tunes are hits in any language--"It's Impossible" and "Love Story" both in Spanish, and a very exciting "Se Acabo." A very pleasant LP that should score well on the international shelf. 

The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)
Producer(s): none listed
Columbia KC 31453
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 6/17/72

A strong, commercial package of today's material delivered in top, unique Carr style that should prove an important chart winner. She turns in exceptional treatments of "Without You," "Brian's Song," "Way of Love," and the title tune to name a few. Neil Diamond's current "Song Sung Blue" is also a strong cut in this fine program. Strong support accorded Miss Carr by the Al Capps arrangements, and Snuff Garrett productions. 

Superstar
Producer(s): none listed
Columbia C 31040
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 12/25/71

Taking the most popular tunes of today, Dick Glasser has produced a dynamite package for Miss Carr that will surely prove one of her most commercial successes to date. Lending her beautiful and powerful voice to "So Far Away," "Portrait" (by Carol Carmichael), "Spanish Harlem" and the title tune, the talented young lady exhibits her versatility & great style. 

Vikki Carr's Love Story
Producer(s): none listed
Columbia C 30662
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 7/3/71

The stylists' first package for Columbia is a strong one for MOR play and sales, and it includes her singles "I'll Be Home," and "Six Weeks Every Summer." Important cuts include her treatment of Ron Miller's "I've Never Been a Woman Before," and Jim Webb's "I Keep It Hid." For added sales appeal, she's included the title tune and "One Less Bell to Answer."

Nashville by Carr
Producer(s): none listed
Liberty KST-11001 (S)
Genre: POP

Originally reviewed for week ending 4/11/70

No stranger to country music, as her hit "With Pen in Hand" demonstrates, Miss Carr presents a whole delightful album of it, and one of the rewards should be hit status. Her big voice is perfect for "Singing My Song," "Living on a Prayer, a Hope and a Hand-Me-Down," "Today I started Loving You Again/Crying Time" medley, and "The Tip of My Fingers."
