I was trying to find a copy of John and Beverley Martyn's
album 'Stormbringer' today after seeing John Martyn on
several deserts. Couldn't find it, but I did find an interview 
with his ex-wife, Beverley - a lovely voice, to my ear - 
and currently playing the clubs again  - and discovered 
something I'd never known  - that it was her English voice 
on Paul Simon's 'Fakin' it' saying, "Good Morning Mr Leitch" 
see

'Stormbringer' and John's 'Bless the Weather' could both 
make it onto my desert  - and for those interested in Nick 
Drake, Beverley talks about the close friendship between 
the three of them, writing together, etc.  The site, a Dutch 
one, called 'Big Muff' (named after a foot pedal, presumably?) 
also has an interview with John where he talks about his song
for Nick, 'Solid Air'.
