Album Notes

"Hello, I've been a loyal fan of KidsSongs since I was 3 years of age. It is and forever will be, the best series of songs for kids ever. I just wanted to let you know how much your songs have meant to me. I am now going to become a freshman at the U of Arizona and still play them. I have grown-up, but will always love those songs; they were the soundtrack of my childhood and I thank you so much. Andrew"

Nancy Cassidy, one of the most popular children’s recording artists in the country delights children of all ages with her warm heart-felt voice and diverse selection of traditional, original and contemporary songs from her Klutz KidsSongs series. Her first recording, KidsSongs received a Gold Record from the Recording Association of America Inc. for having sold 500,000 copies - it has now sold over 900,000! In August 2004, Klutz released a two-CD boxed set and sing-along book of Nancy’s KidsSongs, produced by Ken Whiteley. This set combines music from KidsSongs and KidsSongs 2. In 2005 it received the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award and The Children’s Music Web Awards for “Best Recording for Preschoolers ages 3 to 5” and the “Judge’s Technical Award”.

In addition to singing and playing the guitar, Nancy writes a number of her own songs. Bruce Springsteen recorded Nancy and John Cassidy’s “Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips” and has sold a million copies. Nancy's rendition of "I Wanna Be a Dog," was beamed up to the astronauts on a shuttle flight, making her one of the first children's artist's with an orbital audience.

Nancy has a total of five Klutz CDs: KidsSongs, KidsSongs 2, Jubilee, Sleepyheads, and Hullabaloo.

KidsSongs, Nancy’s original folk music, and most everything else about Nancy (including reaching her), is available online at www.nancycassidymusic.com.

“Nancy Cassidy’s music has a spiritual quality which moves families to sing along together rejoicing in the rollicking rhythms of folk music.” - Rita London, Public Programs Manager, Children’s Museum of Manhattan
