Gary Lawyer
Singer, Songwriter
I remember singing in my first show ever in Mumbai, the songs Tobacco Road and Georgia On My Mind which are by Ray Charles. These were songs I would sing at my auditions in New York. It was amazing to see the theatre erupting in applause to them. These Jazz standards are some of the greatest songs ever written, and to be able to present them to a new generation, and keep them alive, is a great feeling.
