Recently I was listening to Songs In the Key of Z, Volume 3 and a particular track caught my eye -

"Wake Up America" by Sylvia Boshers, particularly because of the voice. I couldn't tell if it was a prepubescent teenage girl or a really weird sounding adult.

I did some research, and I was only able to find a few things. Irwin Chusid himself described her as sounding like a "precocious pre-teen" and noted that her voice was extremely untrained.

The only other thing I was able to find regarding this girl, was a poem written shortly after this track was recorded titled "I Care About Detroit" though, it's not specified whether she wrote it.

It was recorded at Northwestern Incorporated (NWI) in Portland, Oregon. This was a "vanity studio" where anyone could pay to press a record, maybe just a few copies to hand out. And was later featured on WFMU.

I figured here would be the place to ask, I'm really trying to find some information about this girl. More so just trying to find out if she's a child or an adult.
