So what artist was your first crush? Dusty, Paul, Blondie, Linda Ronstadt, Hendrix? (there's all kinds of crushes!)
Was Dusty HOT?! We all loved her. But it was the voice!!

OK, she's not from the 60s and by the time she came on the scene in the late 80s I was well past having crushes, but Wendy James certainly gave me an acute attack of Dirty Old Man Syndrome.

Reparata and the Delrons.....especially Weather Forecast...it still makes me feel 16 again:

From this day on, it's gonna rain
After doing a little research on this I gather that in later years, there was some conjecture as to which of the Delrons was actually Reparata...there were court cases, apparently. |

OR an American all girl band. Goldie and the Gingerbreads. 'Baby, baby, can't you hear my heart beat'.
Supposed to be a 'First Crush'. Ok so I have trouble making my mind up. So I am a roadie, love em and leave em. Arthur did on the 74 tour.
I am sure I can think of many more and if not I can dig out some 60's magazines with lots more.

Doesn't every crush seem like the first?! Every one.
Share 'em all.

Ok so a few more, Dodie West, did a really good version of 'Think I'm going out of my head' but cannot find it on youtube.Disappeared on to Kids TV but a real 'looker'.
Girls in bands, Honey Lantree drummer in the Honeycombs or Megan Davies bass player in the Applejacks (Not Ray and Dave's sister as often reported but they did cover a song by Ray)

Harvey - Billie certainly had a good voice. I think that my favourite would be Nobody's Home To Go Home:

People in the U.S. may not know her but Billie Davis was big in Britain in the mid 60's. Could have been a big star, had the looks and the voice, but rather sidetracked by being in a car crash with the Shadows Jet Harris which injured both of them physically and career-wise in the eyes of the press as Jet Harris was married. She had a couple of other songs in the charts and always chose good writers/producers, but people seemed to remember the scandal rather than the songs. She did some gigs with Harris in the last few years of his life. A few songs on youtube.
OR how about Sylvie Vartan or Francoise Hardy, both French and may not be well known in the U.S. Again, see youtube.

In fairness though, Grace is Linda's senior by seven years. The recent interviews that are available for viewing show her to be even more interesting to listen to than she was during the Airplane's heyday...and I think she looks great:
