Annie Haslam.

  Here's one from the late 70's "Annie Haslam" was the lead singer in the group "Renaissance". It's a great L/P, it is produced and arranged by "Roy Wood"....Two tracks stand out
"If I Loved You" note the Russian Music style arrangement and "Rockalise"....Love the cover done by "Roy Wood" seems he had quite an input still I suppose if you produce something then it's your baby !!.........last track is cool as well I'll just say "Hovis"...I wonder how many people will get the connection.........

Annie Haslam (born 8 June 1947) is an English vocalist, songwriter and painter. She is best known as the lead singer of progressive rock band Renaissance since 1971, and for her long and diverse solo singing career. She has a three-octave vocal range.
In 1977, Haslam began her solo career with her album Annie in Wonderland, produced by Roy Wood, who played most of the musical instruments and duetted with her on one track. 

P.S. This is definitely one of my favourite L/P's loved it when I bought it and still play it regular I also bought it on CD when at that time it was the thing to do in 1978 !!..as I have said many times before "Don't Time Fly "!!!!!!....If anybody wants a surprise.... download it and listen to Track One Side Two...for pure Magic !!!...and you won't hear anything of "Nat King Cole" on "Nature Boy" !!!!!!

Annie Haslam.



 This is Annie Haslam  having a go at the classics with the "Royal Philharmonic Orch"...not a bad effort but I think that she could have gone further with it and put a bit a rhythm in the tracks like "Waldo De Los Rios" did !!!

P.S. After recording it again and listening to this L/P again I take back what I said in the above 
"Quote".....Its perfect how it is and I guess the "rhythm" bit I mention would spoil it.....
Sooooooooo if you like your popular classic melody's sung then have a listen to this !!!
