Cynthia
( "Big Cynthia" ) Walker who could
jump start any event and keep it rolling was
legend in how she would capture the audience
and keep them active and involved when she took
center stage. The last time we were honored
by Big Cynthia's presence was at the celebration
of JAMSOURCE / RUNWAY Magazine 16th Year Celebration
by Carolyn D. Baker Founder. It didn't matter
what the occasion was you were going to get
her best performance. Our intentions were to
do a featured story of Big Cynthia after her
appearance at the Jamsource / Runway Magazine
Celebration, however God had other plans and
she was being featured with Him. Personally
I know that I'm not just speaking for myself
that she will be missed and Not
Forgotten. Our condolences to the
family and friends of this wonderful soul. May
God bless and keep all of you.
Houston
Texas, Southern R&B Soul Singer, Cynthia
Walker aka "Big Cynthia". She was
the daughter of the late Motown Saxman Junior
Walker and Gloria Adams. "Big Cynthia"
had the Blues running through her veins. At
the age of 16, she landed a gig with one of
Houston's local bands. Back then, the pay
wasn't much but, it wasn't the money she was
concerned with. It was the love for pleasing
the crowd and that she did very well.
From that
point, She was chosen to become an opening
act until 1996 when she was signed to Avanti
Records by CEO Johnny Vincent and in 1997
her first CD was released nationally under
the name Cynthia Walker, "Baby I'm The
Real Thing" in 1998. She then joined
the pet label of Mel Waiters. Brittney Records,
and traveled all over the country with Waiters.
This was a big break for her. Between traveling
and recording, Sheand Mel put their heads
together and recorded a song that was written
by her entitled, "Ain't Nothing Like
A Big Woman". This song was written for
all the big women all around the world. Being
a big woman, knows what it feels like and
wrote this song to uplift big women.
This song
was already a hit, which was released in February
2002 on the LP "Ain't Nothing Like A
Real Woman". (A new and improved remix
and extended version appears on this new CD
"It's My Time" in 2012). Big Cynthia's
next CD was released April 2004 entitled "You
Didnt Take My Man, You Took My Problem",
which repeated several songs off her previous
album.
Her next
big break came courtesy of a call from Tony
Mercedes of Tony Mercedes Records who produced
her CD entitled "Doing It Big",
which was distributed by Malaco Records. The
album spawned two popular songs, "If
You Want To Get It" featuring Mr. David
and the cheeky "Eating Ain't Cheating".
Tony Mercedes' TM Records went on an extended
hiatus so her next released was executive
produced by Donald Hearon, a performer and
radio personality hailing from Las Vegas,
NV. The CD, "Don't Hate", boasted
another chitlin' circuit hit with the clever
"I Didn't Lie, I Just Didn't Tell It
All" in 2008. Now, after a four year
recording break, Big Cynthia has formed on
her own label, Big Cynthia Enterprises Records
(distributed by CDS Records).
She enlisted
the talents of up and coming Southern Soul
singer Tyree Neal (brother of the late Jackie
Neal and famous Blues singer Kenny Neal) as
co-producer for "It's My Time".
Neal also duets with Cynthia on "Ain't
Nothin' Like A Big Woman (Remix)" &
"Big Leg Woman".
