“Tami Tappan Damiano’s new CD is superb. Her beautiful voice is crystal clear and she appears to have unlimited range. Her phrasing and intonation are flawless and she cuts right to the emotional heart of everything she sings.”~ David Zippel, lyricist for City of Angels

“A must-have for those who love all types of genres of music, Tami Tappan Damiano sails through 40's standards as easily as she does Broadway and Pop. “Her beautiful voice is crystal clear and she appears to have unlimited range. Her phrasing and intonation are flawless and she cuts right to the emotional heart of everything she sings.”~ David Zippel.
