CHARLENE
UNGER IS
THE GREAT WHITE SOUL-SINGER.
A bell-like voice that ranges from pop to rock, classics
to sambas with the kind of precision that only a handful of entertainers
in ourtime have been blessed with. Charlene has the bird-like qualities
of Margaret Whiting, the agility of Mamie Shwartz (unknown), and the power
and class of Whitney Houston.
Charlene Unger, the former U.S.O. girl and Berwyn's Bohemian Princess,
has outlasted most of her piers. Performance highlights included touring
with Bob Hope, appearing as one of the original Golddiggers on The Dean
Martin Show, and playing conventions and V.F.W. halls with The Ungertones
(comprising herself, her sister, Connie, and their half-sister, Henrietta)
in a singing trio rivalling the Andrews Sisters. At the top of her career
Charlene gave it all up to start a home and raise her daughter, Francine,
in her hometown of Berwyn, Illinois.
Now after twenty years, Charlene is ready to return to the lights and
greasepaint we call "showbiz" to once again reclaim her title
as "The Great White Soul-Singer."
In
the rebirthing of that newest star called Charlene Unger, she has appeared
on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a backup singer/dancer to Cyndi
Lauper. Charlene has hosted a segment for MTV's
"Friday Night Street Party." She has entertained
thousands in Chicago at the famous Rhumba restaurant, and of course, her
numerous ingenue roles with the Berwyn Community Players. With Miss
Unger's spectacular return to Tinsel Town she has been performing her
one woman show "Charlene Unger, the Great White Soul-Singer"
as LA's famous Comedy Store. In addition to Super
Duper, Charlene has also co-starred in the star-studded film "Lost
in the Pershing Point Hotel," and she is the newest *NSYNC "album-cover"
girl! |
