7 INTERNATIONAL DIVAS GRACE THE COVERS OF “SHOWBIZ, PIONEERS, BEST SINGERS, MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS FROM 1606 TO THE PRESENT": VOLUME IV OF THE WORLD WHO'S WHO IN JAZZ, CABARET, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT

On April 24, 2007, the Federation of American Musicians, Singers and Performing Artists, Incorporated (FAMSPA), Times Square Press and the editorial board of the World Who's Who in Jazz, Cabaret, Music and Entertainment, jointly announced in New York City the names of the seven divas who will grace the covers of volume IV of the World Who's Who in Jazz, Cabaret, Music and Entertainment.

Peggy Judy is on the front cover; Antoinette Montague, Maria Gentile, Zola, Katie Bull, Stephanie Jordan, Irene Soderberg and Nichaud Fitzgibbon on the back cover. Carol Lexter associate editor at the World Who's Who said: “These 7 ladies were chosen out of 125 names submitted to the editorial board. It was a tough call. We had to select unique talents with distinctive style and a great personality. They fit the bill...yes, they are extremely talented, highly respected in the music industry and hey! they look great!" Senior editor, Germaine Poitiers said: “The choice was perfect, because each one of them brings to the table a different genre and a unique talent. They create an oasis of multi-varied music ranging from Blues and Jazz to cabaret and world music...not to forget their different ethnic background...we have here artists from the United States, South Africa, Australia and New Orleans, if you cant count New Orleans as a separate magical country." The legendary PEGGY JUDY graces the front cover. A large section in the Who's Who was devoted to her astonishing accomplishments as a writer, cartoonist, singer, producer, singer and diva extraordinaire.
