Artist Bio:
Toni Fisher was an American singer born on December 2, 1924, in Los Angeles, California. She gained recognition in the late 1950s for her hit single "The Big Hurt," released in 1959. The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was known for its innovative use of the "flanging" effect, which was achieved by manipulating the tape speed during recording.
Despite the success of "The Big Hurt," Fisher struggled to replicate its chart performance with subsequent releases. She continued to record music throughout the 1960s but never achieved the same level of commercial success. Toni Fisher's contribution to music history lies in her unique vocal style and the pioneering use of effects in "The Big Hurt," which has since become a classic in the world of pop music. Fisher passed away on February 12, 1999, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking music.
