Lesley Anne Cox[1] (née Duncan; 12 August 1943 – 12 March 2010)[2] was an English singer-songwriter, best known for her work during the 1970s.
Elton John recorded a duet with Duncan of the song, similar to her solo version, for his album Tumbleweed Connection.
She worked frequently with her colleague Madeline Bell, including on many Dusty Springfield sessions, as well as providing backing vocals on a number of notable pop/rock recordings such as the 1969 Donovan hit single "Barabajagal".
[7] Duncan famously contributed backing vocals to one of the top selling albums of all time,[8] Pink Floyd's 1973 release The Dark Side of the Moon, which was engineered by Alan Parsons.
[5] By all accounts content to lead a more private, family-oriented life in her later years, she died on 12 March 2010 of cerebrovascular disease,[3] following an extended illness.
