Julie Ann Felix (born 14 June 1938, Santa Barbara, California[1]) is a folk rock recording artist, who was notably produced by Mickie Most on his RAK Records label. She graduated in 1956 from the original high school in Westchester, Los Angeles, California. The same year that she arrived in the United Kingdom, she became the first solo folk performer signed to a major British record label, when she got a recording contract with Decca Records.[2] By 1965, she was a headlining performer, referred to in The Times as 'Britain's First Lady of Folk'.[2] By the end of that year, she had filled the Royal Albert Hall for one of her concerts.[2] Julie Felix married David John Evans in Nottingham register office on 29th January 1966 and they lived together for a year before parting to go their separate ways. In 1966 Felix became the resident singer on the popular BBC TV programme The Frost Report, presented by David Frost. She hosted from 1968 to 1970 her own TV shows on the BBC, including the series Once More With Felix (the first episode was transmitted on 9 December 1967). Among those featured on her show were The Kinks, Leonard Cohen and Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, who played the "White Summer" and "Black Mountain Side" guitar solo pieces. On 1 May 1967 she appeared on the German TV show Beat-Club; in September 1968 at the International Essen Song Days. Her late 1960s recordings included Going to the Zoo, a collection of children's songs on Fontana Records, and in 1969 she was one of the artists featured at the Isle of Wight Festival.[2] She had two UK Singles Chart hits in 1970. The first was with the song entitled "If I Could (El Cndor Pasa)", whilst the second, marginally less successful, was called "Heaven is Here". She toured New Zealand in 1973. In the mid 1990s, Felix released her first new album in a decade, Bright Shadows, on her own label, Remarkable Records.[2] On 24 March 2008 she appeared on a BBC Four programme in which stars of The Frost Report gathered for a night celebrating 40 years since Frost Over England; Felix sang "Blowin' in the Wind". She has appeared at the Wynd Theatre, Melrose, Scottish Borders, on an annual basis over the past few years.[3] She now lives in Hertfordshire, England, and is still recording and performing, appearing on stage on her 70th birthday in 2008.[4]
