My Take

Julie Covington occupies a quietly heroic place in pop history that I find endlessly fascinating. As an English singer and actress trained at Homerton College, she was the first voice to record "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" on the 1976 Evita concept album, before the world ever heard the better-known later renditions. To originate a song that becomes a cultural monument, and then let it outgrow you, takes a rare kind of artistry. I admire that she moved freely across stage, film, and music without chasing the spotlight. She is the original source behind a melody everyone knows.
