This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

BIOGRAPHY:

Wonderful vocalist and songwriter. She was born on August 12th, 1943 in Stockton-on-Tees, England.


THE JOKERS


The Jokers was a band around 1963, with young musicians that later became famous:

John Carter

Ken Lewis

Les Reed
Viv Prince
drums

They released a single credited to Leslie Duncan And The Jokers, ´I want a steady guy / Movin´ away´.

Other info on members of The Jokers (I know up to 5 members)
To be covered (2): Viv Prince, Les Reed
Not enough info (2): John Carter, Ken Lewis


AND THEN...


She released several singles, without great success.


DUSTY SPRINGFIELD


Lesley joined Dusty Springfield, probably around 1966, appearing in several of their albums, forming a magnificent vocal team with Madeline Bell and Kiki Dee or Maggie Stredder.

Sorry, I don´t have info about the lineup(s), so if someone can help, it would be very appreciated.

In 1966, Dusty Springfield was backed by this great vocal section for her concert NME Pollwinners in Wembley:

AND THEN...


In 1970, when Elton John chose Lesley´s tune ´Love song´ for his album Tumbleweed Connection, where Lesley appears, she signed a solo contract. Although, much to our delight, she kept on appearing in many albums as backing vocalist.

Around that time, she married producer and keyboardist Jimmy Horowitz.


ELTON JOHN BAND


Lesley appeared in two more albums by Elton, as well as singing backup in one concert.

In February 1972, Elton John includes superb vocalists and a whole orchestra for his gigs:

LESLEY DUNCAN BAND


Jimmy Horowitz´s relationship with Lesley Duncan was very close, as they were married at that time. Jimmy produced most of her albums, and he also assembled and played live bands to back her. This was the Lesley Duncan Band just for 1 gig in September 1972 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall:

Lesley wasn´t keen on performing live. Anyway, she appeared in the Reading Festival 1973 (with one song in the collective live album) and also toured in 1976.

She later married producer Tony Cox. Her last appearances were with him, and around 1980, she stopped doing sessions. A pity.

Other info on members of Lesley Duncan Band (I know up to 8 members)
Already covered (2): Madeline Bell, Jimmy Horowitz
To be covered (5): Andy Bown, Harvey Burns, David Katz, Glen LeFleur, Chris Spedding

But the tragedy arrived when I read about Lesley´s passing in 12th March, 2010, due to a cerebrovascular disease. Rest in peace.

    1. Hi Miguel, great site.
      Lesley Duncan featured in a 3 part TV musical series called " Sounds like....." circa 1974/5 and produced for BBC North East(Newcastle) by Brian Strachan. The other 2 shows showcased Hedgehog Pie and I think Pentangle. I have contacted BBC archives but they have no trace. It was a great show with Earth Mother playing to scenes of environmental damage etc. Do you have any knowledge of its existence?
      Regards
      Paul Lynch
