Biography

American singer/songwriter, born July 17, 1952, Helena, Montana; died December 16, 1997, Los Angeles, California (age 45). Survived by her second husband, drummer [a=Russ Kunkel] (married 1990), one daughter, Elsie May Larson-Kunkel ([a=Elsie May Valentine]; born July 24, 1990). Born in Helena, Montana, relocated frequently as a child, living in St. Louis, Missouri, Boston, Massachusetts, Alexandria, Virginia, Birmingham, Alabama, and Portland, Oregon, before setting in Kansas City, Missouri. Attended University of Missouri – Kansas City. Relocated to San Francisco, got a job at a record store in Berkeley, and was soon hired as production secretary at the Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival. Began her musical career in earnest in the early 1970s, singing with [a=David Nichtern] & The Nocturnes. Met (and later married) Nichtern's guitarist [a=Hank Devito] (they divorced 1978). Relocated to Los Angeles, and became friends with [a=Linda Ronstadt], through whom she was introduced to [a=Neil Young]. By 1978, she'd contributed backup vocals to Young's [i][Link][/i] and [i][Link][/i]. The latter featured "Lotta Love," which would become Larson's own signature song as included on her own 1978 debut album [i][Link][/i]. After providing harmonies for the likes of [a=Linda Ronstadt], [a=Emmylou Harris] and [a=The Doobie Brothers], and doing a stint in [a=Commander Cody], Larson released four solo albums for Warner Bros. before moving to Nashville and recording her MCA debut, [i][Link][/i], which garnered the Country Music Academy's Best New Female Vocalist award and produced the hit duet with [a=Steve Warner], "That's When You Know When Love's Right." She continued recording until a cerebral edema took her life in December 1997. In February 1998, two tribute concerts were held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in California, gathering such artists as [a=Carole King], [a=Emmylou Harris], [a=Jackson Browne], [a=Joe Walsh], [a=Bonnie Raitt] and [a=Linda Ronstadt].
