I wonder if her career would have taken off if she wasn't so attractive. There are many bass players male and female who are just as good as her who are trying to make it in the music business or don't even have a quarter of her success. This is not taking away the talent she has, but in a guy music world, when you see a cute musician, they don't get treated the same.
The difficult thing for her I thinks is she has already been on the mountain top of success and popularity. She is no longer playing with Jeff Beck so I see her popularity going down with the exception of single guys. Unless she can take off as a solo artist. For that you need great song writers to work with, and lots of promotion.
