Norah in Sixth Week at Number One
Blew away Blue Note from the get-go.

by Ellen Sawyer

Norah Jones
DETROIT, MI  [Thursday Mar.25.2004]  /WMQT.com/ -- Norah Jones's album "Feels Like Home" has entered its sixth straight week on the Billboard charts. The Blue Note artist's two records have sold almost 25 million copies worldwide, boy, are they glad they signed her. When Bruce Lundvall, president and chief executive of EMI Jazz Classics, heard her for the first time, he was blown away. Lundvall said he'd been getting inundated by "a lot of blond, buxom women who play the piano and sing badly trying to sound like Diana Krall. But in comes this petite girl with glasses, thin, very young, dressed down."

Lundvall only had to hear the first few seconds of Norah's demo ("Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" by Tommy Wolf and Fran Landesman) before making an offer. "Look, you're on Blue Note," he remembers saying. "You are going to have to get an attorney, but I'm making a commitment now."
