I am trying to contact an old friend who used to be a famous  jazz singer from  Calcutta ( Pam Crain) . It would be awesome if I could get in touch with her as we have  been out of touch for nearly 30 yrs. I am in Canada now so do not have the local advantage of wonderful resources such as your organization. Any help would be appreciated.

This, from a four-year old story - ''Although she keeps travelling -- her daughter has moved to the UK and her mother lives in Las Vegas - Crain returns to the city of her birth where she feels her roots are.'' Saturday, October 21, 2006 http://www.telegraphindia.com/1061021/asp/calcutta/story_6896463.asp They are fond of Pam Crain in Calcutta - as this story dated 2 January 2010 shows: ''A Passage in Kolkata Kolkata's Park Street is the most iconic road in India. Bridging the gap between Warren Hastings and Buddhadeb, it is a celebration, and, alas, a tragedy.'' http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/art-culture/a-passage-in-kolkata And this, dated March 25, 2010 : http://www.hindustantimes.com/Flashback-Flury-s-glorious-days/Article1-523033.aspx Any input from our pals in Calcutta? --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
