She was kind of ever present in the background over here as a reminder of the swinging 60s but also someone who transcended that scene to create an interesting career beyond it.

I agree that 'Broken English' is a great record.

Just read she grew up in my home town, quite a few years before me sadly

How to inhabit someone else's song.

And I say that as someone who would probably take Astral Weeks over every other album in my collection
