Spaniard - Lesley Rae Dowling

[baxteq]

one of the most beautiful voice to come out of South Africa, great talent

[robbieTmusic]

Cold shivers listening to this now! I've always considered this Stellenbosch talent the most distinctive female voice in S.A. rock history. Just love her!

[louisehjacobs]

Beautiful photo's and a beautiful song ... thanks for sharing it with us :-)

[16JMK16]

What a voice ,Goose bumps , love her.

[rtjtool]

Lesley Rae,Ballyhoo, eVoid - Pop Shop, Fast Forward, David Gresham - those were the days......

[TheMerciFix]

Goosebumps... haven't heard this in ages, still singing along word by word! 

[jewellers100]

Pity our SA artist was not promoted enough overseas. I always thought LRD was our diva. She could have been our own Annie Lennox.

[16JMK16]

WOW What a voice , No one will ever forget her voice , probably one of the sexiest voices out .

[Thapwarin]

This song reminds me of the time when I was living in South Africa 27 years ago.

[MMPPark]

Hauntingly beautiful voice

[chiefbag]

Niece Won.

Must give the cd to The Ferret next time he is going over for signage.

Thanks Lesley.

[LEONARDGRUNDY]

Haven't heard it for ages.

I recall she was part of the Tulley Mculley(?) wrkshop/production house, and they did really good stuff. She was from Stellenbosch, I think. Great voice,big production, love it!

[asenger10]

I saw Lesley Rae in Grahamstown at a show in the early 90s. Grahamstown Arts Festival when it still was. What a performance. Saw Nataniel then too. And Johannes Kerkorrel. Moments I will never forget.

[MrLesHaupt]

I saw her as a supporting act for Leo Sayer at the Good Hope Centre in CT

[Debinikita]

oh boy, I can't believe the amount of talent that South African musicians have, and yet they never really hit the big time, such a shame.. travelling down memory lane with all these amazing songs by South African bands... really great.. thanks for sharing and reminding us how talented we Saffies are...

[lemonbook]

why oh why can't I buy and download this song; it's so totally unforgettable!!

Thanks for the upload!!

NB - I have heard that one reason she never became HUGE is that she did not do well on stage - anyone else heard/know if this was just rumour?

[dragonbone5000]

Yes, I heard that too. She was apparently very shy and all her music videos were shot at her home in Stellenbosch. The original music video for this song was amazing.

[tsrwakemaster]

Yes

She had quite a few shows where she had such stage fright backstage she never came out and show was cancelled.

[imbeciledouble]

Impressive voice.Rammeling liedjie! I have no other words. Many thanks to you,lulezjarri about this masterpiece!

Wonderful memories come to me with "The Spaniard". I received the first album of Lesley from a friend in South Africa in the 80s. Apparently she was heard of only in South Africa, at least nobody in Chile knows about her. Wonderful Singer.

[LiTTLEjeNNi007]

WOW! I've been looking for anything from her for AGES...thank you:)

[apresimage]

A beautiful woman with a brilliant voice and style.

I had two of her albums in the early 1990's. They got lost when I moved. I found the album on the web and imported it from SA with "Unravished Brides" as well.

[gasanc]

The actual video Leslie made was fantastic!

[gasanc]

I bought this album many years ago in South Africa. An absolute gem. Brings back fond memories.

[BeeSting360]

Great video Erika. I liked it.
