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 Heartache Da Do Rendezvous
