In the world of cable access television the name Sondra Prill is legendary. Originating from Tampa, Florida, Prill’s “My Show” ran for only three episodes in the late 80s/early 90s. After a disastrous attempt at launching a career as a concert performer, Prill disappeared from public life. A few years ago videos of her show were uploaded to Youtube and went viral. The reclusive Prill demanded that Youtube yank them out of respect for her privacy. Fortunately, two or three have survived and Sondra’s song stylings are viewable for a new generation of fans.

Prill’s jackhammer approach to singing seems perfectly suited to Technotronic’s massive hit “Pump Up The Jam.” Combining the robust vocalizations of Linda Blair in The Exorcist with the rap attack of Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, the demonstrative diva’s invocations to pump up the jam border on the threatening - “dance or I’ll break your fucking legs!”

Personally, I’d love to see Sondra come out of hiding and release “My Show” on DVD. This bad girl is definitely licensed to Prill.
