Gale Garnett "My Kind of Folk Songs" 1964

Gale Garnett, born July 17, 1942, Auckland, New Zealand, is best known in the United States for her Grammy-winning folk hit "We'll Sing in the Sunshine". She has since carved out a career as a writer and actress.

That was 1965, a song by a black woman was covered (Billie Holliday), at the time in the USA it was perhaps still a risk for a white artist. But do you remember them from your early youth? I have to say hardly. Like so many other things, this pearl would have passed me by, just with the song 'Calm and collected' something moved in the back of my head and of course with the Grammy song 'We'll sing in the Sunshine'. And as soon as I saw any album of hers, I struck. The woman really has it all. Simple pop songs, ballads, rock, vaudeville, chansons, Irish, jazz, blues, psycho ... and she could certainly dance too. And who knows what else? It's good that we didn't know everything about music back then. There had to be some money left for wine, women and cars. There wasn't any extra money left to squander. We weren't George Best. - Gaius
