Thread Name: Is Lizzie Higgins still alive?
Subject: RE: Is Lizzie Higgins still alive?
Lizzie Higgins was unquestionably the best singer I have heard. Her style was totaly captivating, hypnotic even. The audence melted away, there was just you and her and she sang straight to you. There are a couple of LPs and a fiew CD tracks arround BUT none completely capture the her performance. BUT, Doc Roe, folklorest and collector, recorded Lizzie on video when in hospital and this is a powerfull bit of tape that shows, dare I say it, some of her special magic.
