Search - Dana Gillespie :: Andy Warhol

2010 collection from the British vocalist containing tracks from her early '70s albums. A long time friend and lover of David Bowie, she sang backing vocals on Ziggy Stardust and was signed to Bowie's management company, Mainman. For that company, she made two LPs, the superb Weren't Born A Man (1973) and Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle (1974). Despite production from David Bowie, Mick Ronson and Robin Cable, and the support of the best studio musicians of the day, neither album was a hit and Gillespie concentrated on her sex-bomb film career before reinventing herself as a bawdy Blues mama in the 1980s. If you've never heard this stuff but you like Bowie and Mick Ronson, you have a treat in store for you! Gillespie was a hugely under-rated talent and the track 'Backed A Loser' is worth the price of admission alone!
