She studied modern languages at the University of California, Berkeley. McCorkle began singing professionally after hearing recordings of Billie Holiday in Paris in the late 1960s. She nearly became an interpreter at the European Commission in Brussels, but moved instead to London in 1972 to pursue a career in singing. While in the UK, she made two albums which, although well received, enjoyed only limited circulation.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1970s, McCorkle returned to the United States and settled in New York City, where a five-month engagement at the Cookery in Greenwich Village brought her to wider public attention and elicited rave reviews from critics.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Susannah+McCorkle","playStationPath":"/stations/269167381/play","stationId":269167381,"bioPath":"/music/Susannah+McCorkle/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Kat+Edmonson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ab7/ab77aa5611a05e67dabba084389569c2_md.jpg","artistName":"Kat Edmonson","artistId":88380,"station_id":271025786},{"musicPath":"/music/Robin+Mckelle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/799/7997ccb739c33c2c5c89f5e3735cf9dd_md.jpg","artistName":"Robin Mckelle","artistId":72200,"station_id":288008695},{"musicPath":"/music/Abbey+Lincoln","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/586/58638ddf4759b64d33445d8889e4d622_md.jpg","artistName":"Abbey Lincoln","artistId":78658,"station_id":302624231},{"musicPath":"/music/Sarah+McKenzie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/681/681b043331680880fe022040dd424a83_md.jpg","artistName":"Sarah McKenzie","artistId":462076,"station_id":401354827},{"musicPath":"/music/Eva+Cassidy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5ec/5ec24145c3f29b22527ab5239274799d_md.jpg","artistName":"Eva Cassidy","artistId":391,"station_id":113274578},{"musicPath":"/music/Nicki+Parrott","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b09/b0939d478cd000fc65551a611ac42aee_md.jpg","artistName":"Nicki Parrott","artistId":462082,"station_id":401354638},{"musicPath":"/music/Lisa+Ekdahl","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2dc/2dc7e1bcbb5c2852b8b60b8bc320463a_md.jpg","artistName":"Lisa Ekdahl","artistId":2600,"station_id":113446760},{"musicPath":"/music/Scott+Hamilton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/080/0806c9f76687d47ffd1a08f396132d13_md.jpg","artistName":"Scott Hamilton","artistId":83713,"station_id":269167378},{"musicPath":"/music/Blossom+Dearie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cf1/cf1840326785094c56e800fcc052aebc_md.jpg","artistName":"Blossom Dearie","artistId":2702,"station_id":113655630},{"musicPath":"/music/Silje+Nergaard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4c5/4c56623d12f1485bdc584fff890675b0_md.jpg","artistName":"Silje Nergaard","artistId":56781,"station_id":260116579},{"musicPath":"/music/Dee+Dee+Bridgewater","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7ef/7ef0ae667fd76915ad6cde84c5b7f695_md.jpg","artistName":"Dee Dee Bridgewater","artistId":13188,"station_id":114267763},{"musicPath":"/music/Bria+Skonberg","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5be/5bedc401ef16d93adeef483e51af625a_md.jpg","artistName":"Bria Skonberg","artistId":428625,"station_id":400407689},{"musicPath":"/music/Helen+Merrill","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e69/e69e2338bbd3b26f7f2a070b1e2c3189_md.jpg","artistName":"Helen Merrill","artistId":110028,"station_id":282141178},{"musicPath":"/music/Susie+Arioli","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a1e/a1e1bb4a566d9ada469637c67a79837b_md.jpg","artistName":"Susie Arioli","artistId":463935,"station_id":401376974},{"musicPath":"/music/Cheryl+Bentyne","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/822/8229796c395c00540d300b7955bb317e_md.jpg","artistName":"Cheryl Bentyne","artistId":111847,"station_id":282283796},{"musicPath":"/music/Anne+Ducros","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e24/e248dcb6661d274fa1f2fb9da885872f_md.jpg","artistName":"Anne Ducros","artistId":113725,"station_id":282638591},{"musicPath":"/music/Toots+Thielemans","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cc6/cc60bb1070bd4443a684b29d27ac1d96_md.jpg","artistName":"Toots Thielemans","artistId":1649,"station_id":113443538},{"musicPath":"/music/Karrin+Allyson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/694/694bacf68e092007db12a485d2d73c45_md.jpg","artistName":"Karrin Allyson","artistId":11038,"station_id":113784117}]}
