#happybirthday to #anniehaslam lead singer of the 1970s progressive #rock group #Renaissance. Her five-octave voice is a true instrument. It remains the most amazing #singing voice I have ever heard. #ashesareburning is the #album that introduced me to her incredible talent. https://www.google.com/search?q=ashes+are+burning&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjXnrHHjrT_AhU4D1kFHc48C-0Q0pQJegQICRAB&biw=390&bih=664&dpr=3#imgrc=vGe9-_TuRU2xPM

Great Albums - 1970s: #Renaissance – #AshesAreBurning (1973). This former Yardbirds offshoot morphed slowly into a lighter, ethereal version of prog, adding Steeleye Span/ Sandy Denny folk textures to the usual prog bombast. Singer Annie Haslam brought a gentle lilt to the music (the antithesis of Sonja in Curved Air), but there’s no mistaking the prog factor of John Tout’s classically inspired piano and Jon Camp’s sly Rickenbacker bass. #GreatAlbums1970s, #Vinyl, #Album, #Prog, #ProgessiveRock
