Debra Caraway, Ralph's Singer, Entertains Malibu Customers For Over 30 Years
|

Malibu is known for its pop star residents, but instead of Britney Spears or Sting, CBS News covered Debra Caraway, who's been singing of the aisles of a local Ralph's for nearly 34 years.

"She should be on Broadway, not in the grocery store," says Ralph's customer Monica Lookesmoe.

She started singing at the store back in the 1970s while sweeping up the aisles.

"This is my stage right here," she says, keeping a bright smile despite living an hour from Malibu and taking care of her sick mother

Customers say that everyone in town knows her, and Caraway says that people often come up to her and say they were in bad moods until they heard her sing.

Actor Dick Van Dyke is her biggest fan, according to CBS News. "Everyone in town knows her, and besides that she's hot," he says.
