Many years ago when I was a teenager I was visiting my grandmother in London, England. This was during the early 1970's. There was a small local library not far from where she lived in the Cricklewood area of London. I used to borrow books from this library. One year I found a fiction book and the story was about a girl in her 20's who was or wanted to be a folk singer. I do not remember too much about the book now as this was a LONG TIME AGO! Unfortunately I do not know the title of the book or the author or the publishing company, but I do know it was a fiction book. I do seen to recall that the young female folk singer was of Indian descent (but not 100 % sure of that) and that in the story they mentioned her long black hair.

I do not live in UK but I did manage to find a web site that had the email for this library. I contacted them via email about a year or so ago and mentioned to the librarians about this book but of course I did not know the title or the author. This book would have been published in the 60's or early 70's. I heard back from a librarian but with so little to go on, they could not provide me with a title or author. Of course there were no staff that worked there currently that worked there during the early 1970's. The library may not even have this book anymore. With so little information to go on, (just the decription that I provided) did not ring a bell of a book like that that they had now.

I tried doing an online search for fiction books published in the 1960's or early 70's in the UK about a girl that was a folk singer but no luck. I only found books that were non-fiction or books about Joan Baez and many other non-fiction books about folk music or folk singers but the book I am looking for was definitely fiction and published in UK.

If anyone might have a clue as to what the title of this book is or remember reading a book like this please post information.
Sorry, I don't have much to go on but I just remember that the girl in the book wanted to be a folk singer and her life was based around that story. The book would have been published in the 1960's or early 70's because it was at that time when I read it.

Thank you,
