Really? I haven't seen this anywhere else. Very sad news if true. Lesley Duncan was one of our most under-appreciated singers.

A special message from Lesley's husband.....
March 12, 2010
"This afternoon I drove to the hospital at about 2pm and on the way I got a call that Lesley's condition had deteriorated alarmingly. When I arrived at her bedside, the nurse had put on the Sing Children Sing album playing softly in the background. I held Lesley's hand and after about ten minutes Love Song started to play. During the song I felt one or two tremors pass through Lesley's body and, as her lovely song ended, she passed away. It was as peaceful, I think, as death can be and a relief after her years of struggle."

Here's a really great Lesley Duncan/Val McKenna single from 1967. Top-notch "psych/soul" (horrible genre category, but that's what records like this tend to get called).

Such a shame; I love those first few albums especially well; when I was at school a friend played Love Song at an end of term concert, and I've quietly been a fan ever since.

Sad sad news.
