Overview
BRITAIN'S GREATEST EVER FEMALE SINGER REMEMBERED BY HER CONTEMPORARIES
Sandy Denny – A People’s History tells the story of the woman heralded by her peers as Britain’s greatest ever female singer. Sandy Denny is the only vocalist apart from Robert Plant to appear on a Led Zeppelin album. But her duet on ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ is just one of many achievements by the woman who in 1970 & 1971 was voted ‘Best British Female Singer’ by readers of Britain's Melody Maker magazine. Sandy brought an air of magic to the stage every time she sang, whether as a member of Fairport Convention, with her band Fotheringay or as a solo singer. This book captures memories of those performances and pays tribute to her beautiful voice, to her endearing personality and to her exceptional songwriting talent. Sandy’s song ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes?’ has been covered by more than 100 artists, and her music is still being discovered and interpreted by artists in the almost half a century since her untimely death in 1978 at a tragically young age. Compiled by Sandy’s daughter, Georgia Rose Lucas, and fully approved by the estate of Sandy Denny, this book contains a wealth of memories and memorabilia. Contributors include Richard Thompson, Rufus Wainwright, Mary Black, Barbara Dickson, Joe Boyd, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Linda Thompson, Joan as Policewoman, Richard Digance, Iain Matthews, Christine Collister, Gordon Giltrap, Aine Furey, Chris Blackwell & Julianne Regan.
