Daughter of Ewan MacColl, but I much preferred Kirsty's sense of humour 
She was famous for her ability to provide instant and spot-on backing vocals in the studio (which she did for many including The Smiths and Talking Heads), but some of her own songs were stunning. Sadly she died in 2000 saving her son's life in an encounter with a power-boat whilst diving at Cozumel, Mexico. I'm going to break my own rule here and include a couple of collaborative compositions.
There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis - third single, first to chart. We've all met him, haven't we?

In These Shoes - very funny. I almost sought a dominatrix ... before I realised I was married to a repressed one and didn't like it 
Don't Come the Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim - this one is all hers, though. Interesting chord progressions, great lyrics celebrating independence and perfect bvs.
