Her melodies and harmonies are absolutely unique. There will never be another Judee Sill.

A very special talent whose lyrics, voice and deliveries always revealed her personal thoughts. Oh she was gone far too soon but her music lives on deep, so deep in those of us who connected with her.

Psychedelic religious baroque folk it's so amazing. I'll never forget when I discovered her. Changed the way I thought about composition and writing. The Beatles, PFunk, Judee, King Crimson, Allman Brothers, Tool and Sublime and of course Floyd all were major perspective changers. I love this woman with all my heart she changed my life and my music for the far better. What a beautiful soul and generational genius. I'd have to say she is one of, if not THE best female musician in the history of recorded music purely on a knowledge and chops level. Joni Mitchell is a generational talent and she has two or three times the musical prowess of Joni, she just wasn't as cute. Music is for your ears and Geffen didn't know how to handle someone like her yet. If not for Judee Sill, I truly believe we may never heard of Kurt Cobain. She was the first artist Geffen ever signed and she was tragically lost too quickly and in a place her genius did not belong. Working with artists like this I believe gave Geffen the skills to later deal with people like GNR and Nirvana and Joe Walsh Era Eagles

Judee Sill is a good example of how, more often than not, it is about some other thing that compels commercial success. It is not necessarily about the quality of their work, their music or what they have to say as an artist. It appears, at least to me, that it is about something else entirely. Maybe it's about their personality, their physical appearance, the fact that they've done little in their lives that might "offend" anyone. For surely Judee Sill had as much depth and heart in her work as anyone of that period. And maybe I'm just wrecked at the moment as I listen to her music and ponder where her life took her.

She basically starved to death all alone in a trailer after turning to prostitution to support her heroin addiction it's horribly sad Edit: She was incredibly obscure at the time of her death and so reports vary. She died of "acute cocaine and codeine overdose" which was ruled a suicide by the coroner duebto some writing they had found but most of the people that knew her swear it was a song concept it certainly was not a textbook suicide note but she was chiefly an opiate addict codeine was easy to get back then I imagine she was just sick. Heroin had gotten expensive by then. Also, Wikipedia used to say a trailer and now says an apartment. Either way she weighed tragically little, was malnourished and unhealthy and died all alone. What a horrible, tragic waste.

Check out my response to Johannes Wich-Schwarz (below) - "Her name was Dana Wynter (1931-2011)... does kind look a little like they could have been related though, huh? No. Just an actress from programs I grew up on that I always felt had a comforting quality in her face. As with Barbara Stanwyck and Brenda Benet (also pictured)." Peace

lets stop right here/now with this so-called 'under-rated' shit. Show me just one single review of Judee Sill that was ever close to negative. She has never been under-rated. Weirdly under-fcking-loved though! How can the V.U, get 30mill yt hits for a song and JD zilch? I like it better this way.
