Yvonne Elliman’s singing career began in 1969 in London, where she performed at various bars and clubs . At the time she did not like what she was singing.

I hated the music then, I did it for the bread. I was into drugs and all that, and thought Grace Slick and the Jesserson Airplane was it.

Yvonne was discovered by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who asked her to sing Mary Magdalene’s part for an audio recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. After its release as an album, they invited her to join the stage show’s traveling cast, which she did for four years.
