She was the only guest vocalist to appear on a Led Zeppelin album ever she's on "The Battle Of Evermore" on Led Zeppelin IV. She was also a famous folk rock singer in her own right and performed with a band called Fairport Convention and for a short time had a band called Fotheringay before she went solo.
I seem to be the only person with her listed as an artist I listen too, but surely there must be some more people who are fans on here?

Well I wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan of Sandy, but I do remember her. I even had a few Fairport Convention albums (back in the days of vinyl, and long before CDs - LOL!), in the 70's. I can honestly say I don't remember Fotheringay at all though!


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

They only did one album before they split up, it's good though has some nice songs on it including "The Sea".


myLot reputation of 98/100. rosie_123 (3858)  5 years ago

Thanks for that - I'll have to try and find it one day! We have loads of old "Reord Fairs" near where I live, and they often have bargains, and rarities if one has the time to sift through everything.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

their album is just called Fotheringay and is still available on the internet I'm sure.

No sorry I have never heard of Sandy Denny, maybe this show called Battle of Evermore is not aired in my country, as I have never heard of this show, and not heard of Sandy Denny hopefully some others members have though.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

No it's a song on the album Led Zeppelin IV, about the third track in I think.

Sandy Denny was great. I haven't listened to much of her solo work apart from one CD I own which contains two solo albums she made, but she was great in Fairport Convention. Meet On The Ledge and Who Knows Where The Time Goes are two great songs she did with them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

She did do some good stuff with Fairport, it's a shame Fotheringay never got to do there next album as they were good too. I like her solo stuff too though my favourite album is the "North Star Grassman And The Ravens".

Sandy Denny had such a sweet voice, one of the greatest female singers of all time, in my opinion. You should listen to the albums she made with Fairport Convention, paticularly 'Leige and Leif'. It's a tragedy she died so young.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

she was very good it is sad she died when she did, I like her solo stuff as well as the stuff she did with Fairport though.

Her Scottish grandmother was a singer of traditional songs
She played the keyboards, died in 1978.
I enjoy the unintrusive soft sound of her voice. Susan


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

Yes she has a lovely voice very expressive and evocative.

You are not alone. We have a compilation cd called 'No more sad songs' by Sandy Denny. She was the most amazing singer and is sadly missed by those of us who admired her work.
Thanks for posting this and reminding us of the work she did with Led Zeppelin.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

It's a shame she didn't do more with Zeppelin she fitted in with them really well.

All l know about Sandy Denny is that she was a british folk singer and died young. One of music forum that l belong to there is a few true blue fans of hers. So your not alone.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

It's worth finding her music and listening to it she was really good, I particularly recommend the album "The North Star Grassman And The Ravens".

Aha... you're not alone, my friend. I too, know of Sandy Denny but I fear we're showing our ages a little. ha ha ha.

I remember her singing on The Battle of Evermore and I also remember Fairport Convention, who made a few folky type records. To be honest, I don't have her listed because I'd forgotten about her. lol. I suppose as years go by, you change from the lesser heard to the more popular singers of the time. I like all types of music so I guess I change with the times. I can't get into rap, house or jamming, but other than those, I'm pretty into music.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

There seems to be renewed interest in her work hopefully she'll be making a comeback, Richard Thompson is going to perform the entire Leige And Leaf this year at Fairport Conventions fesival "Cropredy".


myLot reputation of 98/100. Darkwing (7548)  5 years ago

Wow... that sounds as though it could be good.

I've heard of Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention but apart from the duet on "Battle of Evermore" I don't think I've heard any of her work. As so many people have said good things about it on this discussion though I'll look out for it!


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 1 out of 72 in led zeppelin  5 years ago

She wrote brilliant evocative songs I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in her through the years.
