Lotti Golden
In Look magazine for September 9 1969, there's an article about an aspiring young singer named Lotti Golden, who wanted to be just like Dylan. Never having heard of her before, I got curious and did some research.
She did go on to release a couple of albums. This blogger discusses her career and offers a compressed audio file of one whole album. This fellow does the same.
But overall, poor Lotti is so obscure she doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry, and her records never made it to CD.
In 1982, she tried again with a group called Warp 9, purveyors of "new wave funk." You can hear two samples of their stuff here.
If you listen to the clip below, you might see why she never made it big. This song is like five different disparate songs jammed into one.

D'oh! :shut: Guess I should have known. Then again you could have used a wink. 😉
Anyway, yeah, those links look familiar, especially the wiki page on The Blues Project. It barely mentions him, and not his later career. Three of the five band members have links to their own pages, but he doesn't have one. The other is just a review. There are a number of those, with no further information. I don't need the download - I have the album on CD - my brother found it a few years ago from a Russian mfr, of all things - and I mean, liner notes in Russian. (I find it ironic that this album, even more obscure than Lotti Golden's, is on CD but hers is not.) But thanks for looking. As I said, there is nothing but dead ends, other than a few possible sightings or vaguely remembered what-ifs. I dunno. I am almost at the point of contacting his former band members. It's times like these that I wish I were still a journalist. Hey - maybe this is more motivation to start a blog!
