Yes, really. Charo is an amazing Flamenco artist.

Gabriella and her brother Rodrigo were heavy metal guitarists in Mexico before moving to London and picking up the World beat. They have their own style of flamenco that shows their heritage.

When it comes to talent in a wild package, Charo was the original, IMO.

Nancy, she blazed a trail for women in hard rock - and has better chops than most give her credit for. BTW, OED says I can end sentences with prepositions now. So, I will do that.

I believe that Molly Tuttle is a Hall of Fame picker already. Here she is completely owning a Townes Van Zant classic.

Look, attitude is an important element of rock Godliness - Especially if ya wanna stake a claim in the punk world. Poison Ivy was the engine that made The Cramps go.
