Crystal Waters was born on October 10, 1964 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is the great-niece of legendary singer Ethel Waters. She broke through in 1991 with the smash hit 'Gypsy woman'. Waters has been quoted saying that the song was an accident, and she'd rather been known for 'serious' music instead of this house track.
Still, the song became a number one hit in the Netherlands, peaked at number 8 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 2 in the UK singles chart.
