Q Lazzarus’ journey into the music business
Q Lazzarus’s date of birth is currently unavailable. Some sources claim that she was born in 1960, while others claim that she was born in 1965. It is not clear how she got started with music or what she did before that. She formed her band Q Lazzarus and the Resurrection. In the 1980s, she composes music while working as a taxi driver to cover monthly expenses. Her backing singers are Gloriana Galicia, Janice Bernstein and Mark Barrett, as well as musician William Garvey. In 1985, Galicia revealed that Lazzarus worked as a housekeeper and maid for a famous businessman named Swan.
However, the band recorded their vocals at Swan’s house, and Lazzarus was working on other projects at the time. She was first rejected by record companies for her dreadlocks hairstyle, also known as Diane Luckey. But she got lucky when director Jonathan Demme got in a taxi for her. Luckey asked about Demme’s musical preferences and recommended her demo tape that Demme liked. Demme used her song Candle Goes Away in the 1986 romantic action comedy Something Wild. The film and album received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office win.
Other jobs
Lazaarus became famous with the song Goodbye Horses, which was used on the soundtrack of the 1988 crime comedy Marrying the Crowd and the 1991 psychological thriller The Silence of the Lambs. Goodbye Horses has also appeared in numerous films, television shows, and video games. Luckey also starred in Demme’s 1993 film Philadelphia Justice, singing a cover of Talking Heads’ Heaven. The film, made with a budget of $26 million, grossed about $206 million at the box office and stars Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Jason Robards, Mary Steenburgen, Antonio Banderas, and Joanne Woodward.
Luckey was never found when Q Lazzarus and Resurrection disbanded in 1996. After years of speculation, Dazed discovered her in 2019 and revealed that she had given up on music and is now working as a bus driver on Staten Island.
