Julie Felix left the building 2 days ago.
I remember wanting to go to the zoo with her when I was 11, but I have always loved this duet.

Musings on the byways of popular culture
It’s sad to hear that she’s gone – overlooked by many over the years, and overshadowed in passing by the shenanigans engulfing the world. I only have her Clotho’s Web album – the material she recorded with Mickie Most – and mostly it’s original material of a high quality. I will have to look out for some of her later material, which I believe to be at least as good.
My folks had an album of hers which had a version of ‘Where have All in Flowers Gone’ in German, which I quite liked. Perhaps for that reason I found myself going to see her set at Glastonbury in 1987. An engaging performer.
Under the current lockdown, is she allowed to leave the building?
Turns out it was a friend of mine who encouraged her to come to London. Jim McLean was busking round Europe in 61/62 when he met Julie in Germany.
Another friend made a good point. She was very encouraging to “contemporary” music on her TV show. And in general.
I’m going to do a radio show by way of tribute.
I’m not sure how to do do a Spotify link on here but I hope this works.
