"Delicate"

"Delicate"
Sight and Sound


This is a tribute to one of my favorite female vocalists. I just found out she died last spring when I was looking for one of her songs. She wasn't well known. She described herself as a "delicate" person and preferred to sing back-up for artists like James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt rather than be in the spotlight. She did manage to put out a few excellent albums from the 1970s on and they are worth having.

Thank you, Valerie Carter, for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I won't forget you.


Here are a few of her songs. Hopefully at least one link will work for you if you care to listen.

Live: A Stone's Throw Away

Ooh Ooh Child

Wow! Fantastic timing and the most beautiful photo. Absolutely gorgeous light and colours. I didn't know that Valerie Carter had died. So very sad. Three of the links worked :-)

A very beautiful tribute to Valerie, Karen.

After listening to the tracks I am now wondering why I don't have any of Valerie's solo albums in my music collection!! I will now be searching Amazon & YouTube.

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Thanks, Roger. You won't regret getting her albums. I've been listening to her since I was 19 and I'm still not tired of hearing her beautiful voice. She was a rare butterfly. :)
