Subject: RE: Info request: singer Judi Resnick
Judi was born in 1944, grew up in Conneecticut& graduated from high school in 1962. "You've Heard My Voice" was recorded on 16 May 1964 and she moved briefly to NYC soon thereafter, then to Waltham MA where she studied for a Theatre Arts degree at Brandeis University, graduating in 1970.
Moving back to NYC she pursued an acting career with little success until taking her own life in January 1981 at the age of 36.
The tribute album was compiled by NYC friends after her death, consisting primarily of "non-folkie" tracks from her 10 years in NYC, along with a handful from the concert album, another handful likely recorded in the mid-60s.
She spelled her name with an "i" briefly...went back to Judy or Judith once she gave up actively singing in public.
There has not been a re-release of her concert (though I'll be working on that) and other than the abovementioned recordings I've yet to uncover any further music made by Judi...
