April 21, 1978 : Sandy Denny dies at the age of 31.

April 21, 1978,
the best and most loved female singer of contemporary folk rock
died of a brain hemorrhage. Sandy Denny was just 31 years old
and her death was a great loss to both British folk rock and
the world.
Sandy's clear,
emotive voice always soared with a touching sensitivity and piognancy.
She added depth and a personal strength to each of the bands she
played with. Just before her sudden death Sandy recorded a magnificent,
very real, solo album 'Rendezvous' With that album she left us
a beautiful legacy of her music. Ironically, one of the songs
is a moving rendition of Elton John's 'Candle In The Wind' {a
song about Marilyn Munroe) which almost seems to be a foreshadowing
of her own fate. Other memorable tracks on the album are I'm A
Dreamer' and 'All Our Days'
We will
remember Sandy in all our days.
Lets
keep the memory alive
