| | Manager Paul Vance insisted on changing her name to Gia Mateo because Michelle DeLuca sounded "too ethnic". "Tell me that doesn’t sound ethnic?!” said Michelle in an interview for the Honeybeat compilation. She released two singles. And there were high hopes for “If You Can’t Say Anything Nice,” recorded at RCA Studios in November 1966, but it was a flop. "They gave me two shots at it, I guess, and then that was the end." By that point she had met her future husband, fell in love, got married, had kids, became a math teacher, and gave up on a singing career. |
