NY By eanniemeanie[8:00 AM] The lady Miss Dawn Hampton began singing and dancing at the age of three while touring with her family on the carnival circuit. That was when music and performing became part of her soul. In 1959, at twenty-four, Dawn moved to New York and started her solo career singing in cabarets and off-Broadway. Her ability to move audiences from laughter to tears quickly made her the "queen" of cabaret. In 1964, complications of surgery left Dawn unable to speak and her doctors said she would never sing again. Despite their dire predictions Dawn´s spirit remained strong. She turned to composing as her musical outlet and wrote her signature song "Life is What You Make It". One year later, The Lady returned to the stage dazzling audiences with her powerful performances. Now in her seventies?! Dawn Hampton is still performing, but it's on the dance floor to the delight of swing dancers around the world. Dawn Hampton's Birthday Party will be at Dance Manhattan tonight with George Gee and his Jump, Jivin' Wailers
