When I hist met K.iitt seven years ago.
she said she* didn't want to lie a superstar
ot have zillion-selling records, she just
wanted to sell enough so she could keep
making more records and live her own life*.
So far, her album sales have cooperated;
Sure! Forgivene\%, het biggest. has sold

album, evei came t lose* to KM hitdom. “I'd

realizes that if she is to accomplish some of

for Haiti and Asher. “It’s the rawest, fun
kiest record Petci and Val (Averv) ever
made." Kaitt says. “K.verybtjdy plavetl their
butts oil." Asher himself, who savs he's
"been a big admirer of het singing lor a
long time," thinks Thr (Jaw “is simpler
than her earlier album : it's while rink &
mil as opposed to black K&B." Ham has
tens to add that "I was happy with my rec
ords with (fortnet producer! Paul Koth-
c hilcl. but I just wanted a c hange. Thr ( Jaw
was the most pleasurable record I’ve ever
made, we did everything live, everything
was done* on the first nr second take with
almost no rehearsal, t hat doesn't mean
the othet producers didn't treat me* with
tespect — Hot he hilcl ptokibly would have
recorded me live*, but mv voice wasn't as
good then. My voice wasn't together in the
past like it was for this record. I think I've
grown as a singer." Her voice has always
Im*c*ii sweet and sexy, now it’s c onfident Inn.
Kven the album covet shows a new Haiti:
no more self-conscious poses where she
looked like a cot tiled hippie*; this is stvlish
womanhood, glamorous cascades of hail.
And on the* hack cover, the hail is tossed
over her face, like those slow-inntion
sham|MM> commercials.
Not a prolific songwriter by any stan
dards (her seven albums contain nnlv six
Haiti originals), she* makes solid, personal,
likeable songs. “Standing by the Same ()ld
love," the onlv Haiti tune on The (Jaw, is a
hymn to her 7-year relationship with
Garry George, a tall red-headed lexan
who, when they first met, was West (oast
Director id Publicity at WH. “After six
years together, Garry and I split up for
awhile, but when I had a yeat oil the road
we were able to get hack together. 1 really
wanted to make a commit mem to being
home, hut now I’m about to goon the
road, and trepidatidn is setting in. (ice,
only three more loving days.. .on the road,
I c an t love someone I don't even know; I'm
very old fashioned .iImhii that."
George now toils foi Travolta's man
agement company, and that's the reason
Haiti is still in l.os Angeles. “I have some
piopetty in Mendocino. I'd love to live
there, but Garry still needs to Ik* in I..A.
lot business." It's a rather w istful admis
sion. but het house shows a much stronger
acceptance of life in the smog: custom-
made sofa and w ing c hairs, and one of the
world's largest beds — on its own platform,
no less, so latge it threatens to hurst out of
the average-si/ed bedroom. Whole
families could live in that Im*cI and nevet
meet each other. Around the corner, the
hathioom has a new coat of rust-colored
paint, with towels to match, "hit the little*
redheads," she scpieaks in a little-girl Voie e.
I wo fluffy orange cats — Tied and Kihel In
name — pussy-foot down the hallway.
‘Kven our cals are redheads." she says with
a big gtiu. "Isn't that cuuuuuter" ^
