Elkie Brooks

Here we have the distinctive voice of "Elkie" the first side is a bit rocky and loud but the voice shines through on the Second side with the slower ballad type songs....This is another singer who should have been more popular that she is....Just checked up on her and seems that she is popular !!
  She is generally referred to as the "British Queen of Blues". By April 2012, Brooks had released more albums that had reached the top 75 of the UK album chart than any other British female artist.
