Watching "Hits, Hype and Hustle: An Insider's Guide To The Music Business" on BBC4 last Friday, I was intrigued about archive footage of a young female singer being groomed (no, not in that way! - at least I don't think so) by various people including Steve Rowland (Family Dogg, etc). See here Anyone know who she was (Judith someone?) and whether anything became of her? |

I've not watched the BBC4 programme yet, but I'm sure the clip must have been from a 1967 Man Alive episode "Can She Sing - Does It Matter?" genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/21036681830f45168b230a96099b22bdThe singer was Judith Powell and the song 'Greener Days' was written by David Gates (pre-Bread) and previously recorded by the US group The Gants www.45cat.com/record/rca1569The complete Man Alive episode was on YouTube at one time, but appears to have been taken down www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy9LFPfC4ZYWhen I watched the episode I was unconvinced that the programme makers were not guiltier of exploiting her than the hapless would be starmakers. She never made a second record... |

Apparently the record nearly made the Top 50, and was plugged on a couple of the pirates.
