Lesley Duncan’s debut album was a modestly engaging slice of early-’70s singer/songwriter rock, though not distinctive enough amidst a rapidly crowding field to command attention. Somewhat like Elton John, she blended parts of folk-rock, the emerging singer/songwriter movement, pop (though less pop than John), and bits of the Band’s gospel-rock flavor. Indeed, the record is best known for Duncan’s own version of her composition “Love Song,” covered by Elton John on Tumbleweed Connection (and way back in 1969 by a pre-“Space Oddity” David Bowie on a home demo that’s since been bootlegged).Reference points among Duncan’s countrywomen might include the obscure early-’70s work of Marianne Faithfull (though not as dark) or Bridget Saint John. Duncan wasn’t as folky or reserved as Saint John, but this is pretty laid-back, and too pensively even-tempered and melodically bland to make a deep impression. The sound is certainly pleasant and professional, due in large part to the presence of some big names in the session band, including guitarist Chris Spedding, Pentangle drummer Terry Cox, and most of all Elton John himself on piano. The more bittersweet-than-usual “Love Song,” here garnished by some odd rainfall-like effects in the background, is the standout, while “Crying in the Sun” edges oddly close to the kind of pop/rock ballad that could have been covered by Dusty Springfield.

Bio
Birth: Aug. 12, 1943, England
Death: Mar. 12, 2010, Scotland
Vocalist, Songwriter. She became one of Britain's first successful female singer-songwriters of the pop era. Born in Stockton-on-Tees, she moved to London and cut a single titled "I Want a Steady" (1963) under the name Lesley Duncan and The Jokers, before beginning her career as a sessions vocalist with Dusty Springfield among other artists. In 1970, Elton John recorded a song she wrote titled "Love Song", which was featured on his "Tumbleweed Connection" album. The track (a duet with Lesley) became an early hit for him; also having the distinction as being one of his rare songs not composed by the Elton John and Bernie Taupin writing team. She recorded a version for her album "Sing Children Sing" (1971), which was followed by the LP "Earth Mother" (1972). Throughout the 1970s, she recorded additional solo efforts and contributed vocally to a number of artists' albums including the soundtrack to "Jesus Christ Superstar" (1970), Elton John's "Madman Across the Water" (1971), Pink Floyd's classic "The Dark Side of the Moon" (1973), "Ringo Starr's "Goodnight Vienna" (1974) and The Alan Parsons Project's hit "If I Could Change Your Mind" (1979), which she performed lead vocals. She died following a lengthy bout with cerebrovascular disease. (bio by: C.S.)
12 марта 2010 года ушла из жизни Лесли Дункан. Для многих она была аналогом Элтона Джона в юбке с которым ее связывали прочные творческие отношения.
Дебютный сингл I Want A Steady, записанный как Lesley Duncan And The Jokers, появился в 1963, но 60е оказались, по большому счету, пустыми для певицы: коммерческий успех упорно обходил певицу стороной, а все творческое наследие уместилось на дюжине сорокопяток.
Первое значительное достижение - дебютный альбом Sing Children Sing, появившийся в 1971 году. Партии клавишных были исполнены Элтоном Джоном, а критики отмечали стилистическое сходство в манере их исполнения. Одну из песен, Love Song, Элтон перезаписал для своего классического Tumbleweed Connection (вокальную партию здесь исполнила сама Дункан).
Плодотворный союз с Джоном привел к тому, что последний отметился на пластинке Moonbathing 1975 года, а Лесли принимала участие в записи Madman Across The Water и Here And There.
Несмотря на очень высокое качество сольных альбомов, спроса на них не было, и, в первую очередь, Дункан прославилась как сессионная певица. Здесь наиболее известной стала работа с Dave Clark Five, Ринго Старра, Pink Floyd (в том числе и на Dark Side Of The Moon) и Alan Parsons Project.
После 70х певица практически прекратила творческую деятельность.
