My Take
Sandy Denny, the English singer-songwriter who lived from 1947 to 1978, is a voice I genuinely consider one of British folk-rock's finest. As lead vocalist of Fairport Convention she helped define the genre, and her own songs, like Who Knows Where the Time Goes, are quietly devastating. There's a clear, sorrowful purity to her singing you don't forget. The legend that she's the only guest vocalist on a Led Zeppelin track, The Battle of Evermore, says everything about her standing among peers. She died at just 31, which still feels like a cruelty. To leave a mark this deep in so few years is staggering.
