I hope you enjoy the music. She was special.

Sandy Denny!
The official 5th member of Led Zeppelin.
She even has her own symbol on Zeppelin IV.

Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger Oct, 30 2009 at 06:27 PM

Beautiful voice. I first heard of her as a member of The Strawbs.

It used to be Cat Stevens.
I liked Odetta a lot as well.
Then there was Burl Ives.
Currently? I don't have one.

Thanks Rosie. I know of Cat Stevens but not Odetta. Burl Ives...all I can think of is Frosty the Snowman! ~V

Bob Dylan -- if he is recognised as a folk singer. Love his lyrics and his sound.

Definitely! his sound/lyrics have weathered the test of time!
Thanks Kat!

So true. And many teenagers of all decades since he first 'arrived', love his music.

Doc Watson. He was born and raised in Deep Gap, N.C. You've never really heard "Tom Dooley" until you hear his version. And practically everything else on his "Best of" CD will delight you.
