DANA GILLESPIE - Foolish Seasons LP 68 22 w Weren't Born a Man LP 74 w Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle LP 74
REPOST Request: A blurb about her from Wiki: The song "Andy Warhol" was originally written by David Bowie for Gillespie, who recorded it in 1971, but her version of the song was not released until 1973 on her album Weren't Born a Man. Her version also featured Mick Ronson on guitar. After performing backing vocals on the track "It Ain't Easy" from Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,[7] she recorded an album produced by Bowie and Mick Ronson in 1973, Weren't Born a Man.[1] Subsequent recordings have been in the blues genre, appearing with the London Blues Band. She is also notable for being the original Mary Magdalene in the first London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar,[1] which opened at the Palace Theatre in 1972. She also appeared on the Original London Cast album. During the 1980s Gillespie was a member of the Austrian Mojo Blues Band. https://mega.nz/file/f6xBSJII#MjbUZ_plo7vbFYPokmlXlT7oSktCDPDTjlSz1g0P1J0

A great singer, I have the 2cd of Weren't.. and a few recent albums. She is also very funny with lyrics too. But thanks for the earlier LP. John
