Rozalla Miller (born 18 March 1964), better known as simply Rozalla, is a Zambian dance music performer. She is best known for her 1991 hit "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)", which was remixed and re-issued several times. ==Musical career== Rozalla began performing at a young age in her native Zambia singing in clubs and at events; then at age 13, she was singing on a children's TV show. While still in her teens, she relocated to Zimbabwe where she fronted various R&B cover bands before beginning her own recording career with a resultant five number-one hits on that nation's chart.〔Vibe Vol 2 No. 2 (March 1994) p.37〕 In 1988, Rozalla relocated to London and worked with the Band of Gypsies, a production duo consisting of Nigel Swanston and Tim Cox. Rozalla's first UK single "Born to Luv Ya" became a club hit in 1990. The singer's career really took off when the dance anthem "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" reached number 6 in the UK Singles Chart in 1991. It became a Top 10 hit in many European countries soon afterwards and reached the Billboard Top 40 the following year. It remains her biggest hit to date. It was later included on her dance-heavy debut album ''Everybody's Free'', which peaked at number 20 in the UK Albums Chart and went silver. The album spawned two more sizeable hits in "Faith (In the Power of Love)" and "Are You Ready to Fly", reaching number 11 and 14 respectively in the UK Singles Chart, plus a lesser charting single in the ballad "Love Breakdown".〔(Officialcharts.com )〕 In 1992 Rozalla toured with Michael Jackson, opening all of his performances on the European leg of his Dangerous tour. She enjoyed four UK Top 40 hits in 1994/95, including her cover of "I Love Music", the theme song to the film ''Carlito's Way''. The attendant album ''Look No Further'' featured more R&B and soul elements than her previous album.〔Billboard 30 September 1995, p.28〕 A 1996 remix of "Everybody's Free" reached number 30 in the UK Singles Chart. Her 1998 album ''Coming Home'' saw her reunite with the Band of Gypsies and spawned a stateside club hit with its lead single "Don't Go Lose It Baby".〔Billboard 17 January 1998, p.31〕 In 2003, Rozalla entered the lower regions of the UK Singles Chart alongside Plastic Boy on the vocal trance single "Live Another Life". She issued the jazz/soul album ''Brand New Version'' in 2009, adding her surname Miller to her recording guise. She promoted the album by performing as Billy Ocean's support act on his UK tour of 2009. A Global Deejays remix of "Everybody's Free" reached number 7 in Australia in 2009 after it had been used as the theme song to ''So You Think You Can Dance''. In 2015, Rozalla returned to the Top 10 of the Billboard Club Dance Charts for the first time since 1994 with her track "If You Say It Again".〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rozalla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
