Blues Matters! 6 24 HOLLY GOLIGHTLY Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Adele et al, may take all the plaudits and the media's attention currently, as soul and Blues revivalists, but Holly Golightly has done more than most in keeping the spirit of great female Blues singers of yesteryear alive for nearly two decades. "I've made a little niche doing what I do and, in that respect, I've done it for so long, it's developed its own authenticity. It's just the thing I do. I think it's great if people hear it and it makes them listen to the proper stuff that had a big impact on me."
