Sandy Jordan began her Producing career at the tender age of 20. Already a seasoned actress
and dancer, Sandy was beginning an opera career. After one brief booking singing opera, Sandy wisely
decided that it was not for her. Dissatisfied with her agency and manager Sandy left college an d started SG Jordan Enterprises
and opened the first open mic nights in NYC, ran many celebrity nights, packaged musical reviews ran singer and comedy
workshops, sang and worked also as a comic in the Catskills and went on to sing in Vegas, Europe and all over the tri state
area. During this time she sang Broadway music, performed her own act in Cabaret, sang jazz in the jazz clubs and acted in
film, TV and commercials.
Numerous beginners and celebrities took advantage of her shows, such as Bette Midler,
Steve Ross, Baby Jane Dexter, guest celebrities such as Rodney Dangerfield, Marilyn Maye, Phil Foster, and too many more to
mention.
To quote Denis Sheahan in Woman's Wear Daily "Sandy Jordan gives an exceptionally
fine performance. Sandy has the intimacy that goes with a tiny room as well as the power to spell bind in Carnegie Hall. She
jokes about life's rocky road and one finds it easy to laugh and smile at her humor and song which is very much New York"
"Cafe singer Sandy Jordan
sings 18 hours of love ballads Beats the Guinness Book of Records"
What a fun time it was!
"It was 8am Sunday,
February 14th, 1993 on a relatively warm Valentines Day in New York City when I started singing. I didn't stop
till 18 hours later. "New York cabaret singer, Sandy Jordan sings 18 hours of love ballads at Letizia Restaurant"
was the headline in numerous papers around the country. Friends in Chicago, LA & Philadelphia sent me copies of articles
and pictures of me singing.
Johnny Rivers of Channel Four "Sunday in New York Show "was
there promptly at 8am with microphone and cameras. He remained throughout the day interviewing me ad some of those who came
to listen and cheer me on. As the day wore on, more and more TV, radio, Associated Press & numerous papers showed up to
film & interview me between breaths."
The live coverage on TV and radio brought hundreds to the restaurant who stayed & wined and dined till 2am, when
thankfully the songathon ended. I lived to sing another day. Actually, it was tons of fun!
"Singer Sandy Jordan sings John Lennon"
This was the headline
in papers around the country!
"Dec 8 - Singer Sandy Jordan commemorates the anniversary of
John Lennon's death at Cinecitta Cafe in New York City." Headlines again! I was very very proud to share them with
John Lennon. It was fun to see the TV, radio and press back again. We partied till the wee small hours."
This time I shared the stage with my portrait of John Lennon called
Strawberry Fields and had the
accompaniment of Don Edmonds on piano. I was especially delighted when Don Williams of Channel Four News interviewed me at my studio and filmed me along with many of
my paintings. Since then I have gone on to do many commemoratives.
