Essara’s music brings my soul myriad feelings of joy and sorrow. Her powerful voice and rhythms bring sensory awareness to my body. My husband and Essara put forth the song Summertime. Dasher did the arranging and she brought it to all life. Sending her spirit love and light. Rina Kempton

Essra (Sandi) was my childhood friend from 5 th and 6 th grade we lost touch with each other until about 10 years ago when we reconnected and reminisced about our childhood antics and spoke about our lives Essra would always call me on my birthday and sing happy birthday to me in tune of course I am devastated that I won´t hear her beautiful voice next month on my birthday I loved her and will miss her terribly May her memory be a blessing

Essra was my soulmate and friend since the age of fifteen. We wrote several songs together including DIGITAL and LOOSEN UP THE SQUEEZE. I believe the latter contains the greatest female rock/soul performance of all time by this always amazing artist. She will truly be missed by her many fans, but her awesome talent lives on through her powerful and inspirational music. My deepest condolences.

It was an honor to have known Essra, from the first time I went out to her parents home (1974-75) to interview her in the far northeast - Phila for a feature in the Inquirer, through the 1980's during which I was a member of her band on Keys and occasional Violin. She was a forceful and non-stop woman with a passion for her mission, and a highly original human in just about everything she endeavored to touch. Essra, I will never forget you even though you have left us for another musical...

Singing at my cousins bar mitzvah. Her mother (my Aunt Ann) encouraged her to go on the stage and perform a rendition of "She´s got the Whole World in her Hand".
