  • It was around 1974. A large rock arena in the American Midwest. Thousands of Jethro Tull fans were prepared to sit through the obligatory opening act. As the lights came up she stood in the shadow/light and began to sing the haunting ballad Cam Ye Oer Frae France. For many a profound change in the ear would occur. The wonderful world of English, Irish, and Scottish folk music had been introduced. Our thanks to Ms. Prior and to Mr. Anderson. We were enriched.

  • Maybe her voice is not as powerful as it was in her prime, but it's still good enough to show the most of the young pop-ladies what singing is.

    Ich liebe ihre Stimme seit 37 Jahren.

  • her eyes are very wide

  • She'll be 64 soon - born in 47. I was a great fan in the 60s and still am. She no longer has the wonderful, soaring voice, but still one of the great legends that folk singers aspire to be.

  • @EnglishBayley It's a beautiful thing when you go to see the opening act and they make converts, eh? Nothing against Jethro Tull, of course.

  • Ahh, nostalgia. . . I, too, had the opportunity to hear Maddy and the lads of Steeleye Span in a great double bill in Oaklnad with Jethro Tull. Inspired ever after, we played "One Misty Moisty Morning" at our wedding. We also had the good fortune to hear her in Boulder in the mid-nineties at the Upstart Crow. Glad to hear she's still out and about and performing. Gaudete!

  • i live near maddy prior , so tempted to try one of her singing classes

  • I'm always jealous of those of you in the USA who got to see Steeleye Span and Jethro Tull on the same bill. Span were already headliners in the UK by then, so I never got to see what must have been a perfect evening of music.

  • Absolute fave female vocalist anywhere, anytime....she's still the goddess!

  • EnglishBayley - you Tayxanians have no fight with the Brits, neither have we Germans....but confess: "Cam Ye O´er" had you stand straighter and look for redcoats to have a word with. ;)

  • @HotSummerof1976, Scottish actually.
