Gale Garnett Tribute

Here is a good song by the exciting Gale Garnett.
Gale Zoë Garnett (born in 1942) is a Canadian singer known for her Grammy-winning folk hit "We'll Sing in the Sunshine". Garnett has since carved out a career as a writer and actress.
Garnett was born in Auckland, New Zealand. When Garnett was 11, her family moved to Canada, and she made her public singing debut in 1960, while at the same time pursuing an acting career making guest appearances on television shows such as "77 Sunset Strip". In the fall of 1964, Garnett scored a Top 10 pop hit with her original composition "We'll Sing in the Sunshine", and recorded her debut album, "My Kind of Folk Songs", for RCA Victor. Riding the success of that hit, which won a Grammy for Best Folk Recording, Garnett continued to record through the rest of the 1960's with her backing band the Gentle Reign. Although Garnett retired from the music business by the 1980's, she has also continued appearing in feature films and on television shows, usually in supporting roles. In subsequent years, she also branched out into journalism, writing essays, columns, and book reviews for various newspapers and magazines.

Ms. Garnett is of the most sultry, sexy, sensuous songstresses ever to grace music. She was ahead of her time and very much underappreciated. She exuded confidence and style that men admire in a woman.

Proof that Gale could sing anything - Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk, even R&B - with the effortless ease of a Karen Carpenter. Possibly the most underrated female voice (along with Donna Loren) in the '60's.  Unfortunately that smooth voice just couldn't find a sticking place, evidenced by her repeated re-marketing - as a Country artist, Folkie, then a psych-pop diva. Gale, like Loren, seemed a fantastic singer somehow in the "wrong" decade! But her stuff is tremendous.

could someone tell me the name of this song?? I love Gale Garnett. First heard her sultry sexy voice for Francesca in Mad Monster Party when I was a kid. Man, I was hot for that puppet! And of course her hit "We'll sing in the Sunshine"... I might need to get all her records... if I can find them!

Heavens to Murgatroid! I often wondered about Gale's post-60's career! A world of thanks for the wonderful mini-biography of her you shared with us! What a beautiful & gifted lady! CHEERS, mate!!! :-)

Gale Garnett had one of the most sultry, sexy voices ever, and she wrote most of her own songs as well! She made 8 LP's worth of happy, sad, funny, thought-provoking original material in a relatively short period of time. Its a shame that she gave up on her recording career, but she has left behind a wonderful, albeit hard-to-find legacy.

Ricky: I think her voice is very strong and powerful.

Shadofax66...Thanks for the info. I had it on a 45 myself back in the day but "the day" was a long time ago. I'll keep searching...

[Shadofax66]

We have it on a vinyl album of hers, but have no way to play it now....

This beautiful Bossa Nova tune even makes me want to serve cocktail drinks to everyone too! Cheers Gale!

[chrisrcromwell]

What a beautiful Bossa Nova song! I can't help but play it over & over again while I do the 'twist'! Would be nice if the song was another 1:15 longer.
