Whatever Happened to Luba?
If you were a fan of Canadian music in the 1980s, you may remember a singer/songwriter named Luba.
Her single, "Everytime I See Your Picture”, was in the Number One spot on singles charts in 1983. Her first gold single was the song, "Let it Go”, and stayed at the top of the charts for over 40 weeks, eventually reaching the Number One position in 1984.
As a Canadian recording artist, Luba was quite successful but she was never able to break into the U.S. market. In the 1990s, Luba withdrew from the music industry due to professional and personal problems.
You may be wondering, whatever happened to Luba? Well, apparently, she left Canada in 2007 and now lives in the Caribbean Islands. She released a new single in 2008 and another in 2009 on her own record label and is currently attempting to make a comeback.
In an interview with the Montreal Gazette, July 20, 2011, she expressed how much the music industry has changed and how fame is fleeting. After four albums, numerous music awards, and three consecutive Juno Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year, she was somewhat amazed to find that in today's music industry no one would even return her calls.
And yet, she continues to work on new music and look for her next big break.
