Title: Obscure Gem
Product review: Too similar to Helen Shapiro,overshadowed by Petula Clark,not excatly in the same leauge as Dusty Springfield or Lulu,Cilla and Sandie,Julie Grant was one of those precious and lost never-has-beens whose music sounds good decades later and makes one wonder why she never made it big in the first place.Whatever the circumstances dwarfed her career,Grant had strong and powerful voice and repertoire built on a cover versions of american pop/soul singers - check her "Up On The Roof" or "Giving Up" - and when she refused to record "Downtown" that was unfortuntely the end of her recording career.Pity,because I like her voice much more than Shapiro's or Clark's and in my humble opinion Grant deserves more than to be long-forgotten name known only to a few lovers of obscure pop singers.If you can find this CD (all of her singles for "Pye") you would be surprised!
