Lesley Duncan - Sing Children Sing flac album

Lesley Duncan (married name Lesley Cox; 12 August 1943 – 12 March 2010) was an English singer-songwriter, best known for her work during the 1970s  . Considered one of Britain's first female singer-songwriters, her songs included "Everything Changes" and "Sing Children Sing", and the song for which she is best known, "Love Song". Elton John recorded a duet with Duncan of the song, similar to her solo version, for his album Tumbleweed Connection. She appeared onstage with John in a 1974 concert at the Royal Festival Hall to perform the duet once again, and the live recording of "Love Song" was included on John's Here and There album.

Sing Children Sing (Single Version) 17. Exactly Who Are You Tracks 16 and 17 are the A&B-sides of a 16 October 1969 UK 7" single on CBS Records 4585 - both sides are non-album and the song "Sing Children Sing" differs to the 1971 album version. Duncan was 28 when her debut LP "Sing Children Sing" hit the shops in 1971 - and notoriously gig-shy neither it nor the even better 1972 follow-up "Earth Mother" did much business outside of small circles. But across the following years and decades both gathered warmth and affection from a growing band of passionate fans – people who played those British Orange CBS labels on their turntables like both LPs were secret infusions of joy they’d greedily kept to themselves.

Reference points among Duncan's countrywomen might include the obscure early-'70s work of Marianne Faithfull (though not as dark) or Bridget Saint John. Duncan wasn't as folky or reserved as Saint John, but this is pretty laid-back, and too pensively even-tempered and melodically bland to make a deep impression. The sound is certainly pleasant and professional, due in large part to the presence of some big names in the session band, including guitarist Chris Spedding, Pentangle drummer Terry Cox, and most of all Elton John himself on piano.

Sing Children Sing (1969). Album by Lesley Duncan.

Somewhat like Elton John, she blended parts of folk-rock, the emerging singer/songwriter movement, pop (though less pop than John), and bits of the Band’s gospel-rock flavor. Indeed, the record is best known for Duncan’s own version of her composition Love Song, covered by Elton John on Tumbleweed Connection (and way back in 1969 by a pre- Space Oddity David Bowie on a home demo that’s since been bootlegged).
