Amie Comeaux (IPA: /'e.ɪmiː 'kəʊ.məʊ/) (born Amie Noelle Comeaux, December 4, 1976, Brusly, Louisiana^[1], died December 21, 1997 in Lacombe, Louisiana) was an American country music singer.

Biography

Amie first began singing as a child. When she was nine years old, she sang the Star-Spangled Banner at a New Orleans Saints game in the Louisiana Superdome, and continued to do so throughout her teenage years.^[2] Amie was also chosen to play the lead role in Annie at the Baton Rouge Little Theater.^[2]

Record producer Harold Shedd had been working with Amie since she was ten years old, helping her with her singing skills.^{[1] [2]} In 1993, Amie was signed to Polydor Records label. A year later, her debut album Moving Out was released.^[1]

Death

On December 21, 1997, Comeaux was returning home with her grandmother and her godchild, Megan, from a Christmas family gathering in Alabama. As Comeaux passed a car, her car hydroplaned due to severe rain weather and struck a tree, and she was killed on impact. Comeaux's grandmother and godchild were injured in the crash and were hospitalized for some time, but both survived.^[3][4]

Comeaux post-death album A Very Special Angel was released March 6, 1998 by Rival Records of Nashville, Tennessee, but due to printing errors, the CD had to be repackaged and was re-released March 26, 1998. Comeaux had co-written some of the songs on the album herself. A second posthumous album, Memories Left Behind, was released in 2007. This album was dedicated to Comeaux' mother, who passed away in August 2006.^[3]
