Singer/songwriters

[marshlander]

I suggested to Rychard that he start off a couple of new music threads, but he's passed the ball back to me. So here's the first one - singer/songwriters, songwriters who perform their own songs. For me there are so many, so I'll start things off with Sandy Denny, who composed some of the most beautiful songs and was a superb interpreter of English tradition. She not only worked as a soloist, but with The Strawbs, Fotheringay and, of course, Fairport Convention amongst her best known projects. Sadly she died far too early after an accident at home. Here is her song, One More Chance, which never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

Another favourite of mine is Listen, Listen

Probably her most well-known composition was "Who Knows Where the Time Goes"

I could just go on and on ... superb
