Pete Townsend had pictures of Lily.

As a twelve year old, I had pictures of Judith. She messed me up good & proper !!

[Proculled]

I never got to see a picture of Judith before summer of 1971 when I came over some single records.Before that I could only hear them on the radio,we had no record player.

Forget all your modern day female singers, this is pure magic!

@Isleofskye Thanks for that! The carpenters I'd heard of & they are not really my type tbh. But Renaissance is right up my street with songs like those you mentioned! Bloody hell! Amazing material. It's such a shame we always have to go back to the 60s & 70's for good music in a way though. All the female singers now are about as talented as a politician's hair stylist! They only know how to scream at the top of their voice. Awful.

She's not very well known, but check out 'Carrie Tree'. Thanks.

Judith is wonderful but so was Karen Carpenter on tracks like " This Masquerade " and Shirley Bassey gas a different style but sensational voixe and presence.

Try Annie Haslam of the 1970's English Group=Renaissance on Songs like "Ashes Are Burning " and "Mother Russia " for another beautiful delivery.

Good art doesn't gets older. I live in Brazil.

Since we're on the path of recommendations for her, listen to the Seekers' version of "What Have They Done To The Rain?". I have to listen more than once to that gem.

If You think this is Good, Check out "Walk With Me". It's Totally Haunting & leaves you Shivering for the rest of the day.

I've tried looking for another voice like Judith's in the hope that this is a certain Style of Singing. But there's no other Voice like it. She Really is the only person on the Planet that can reduce a person to Tears with a single performance.
