- Summary:
- With Fairport Convention, Fotheringay and in her own solo career, Sandy Denny had one of contemporary music's finest voices, and Melody Maker twice voted her best female singer. She was also a highly acclaimed songwriter, composing most of her own material. However as one of the few women in the fast-living, hard-drinking music industry of the era, Sandy was forever torn between the thrill of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle and a desire to escape to a simple family life in the country. Sadly, Sandy never did reconcile her life's conflicting forces, and died aged 31 in 1978, in circumstances surrounded with mystery. Sandy Denny remains the finest female singer-songwriter this country has ever produced.
