Dana Gillespie
Dana Gillespie (born 30 March 1949) is an English actress, singer and songwriter.Originally performing and recording in her teens, over the years Gillespie has been involved in the recording of over 45 albums,and appeared in stage productions, such as
Jesus Christ Superstar
, and several films. Her musical output has progressed from
teen pop
and
folk
in the early part of her career, to rock in the 1970s and, more latterly, the
blues
.
Career
Gillespie was born in
Woking
, Surrey, the second daughter of Anne Francis Roden (née Buxton) Winterstein Gillespie (1920–2007) and Hans Henry Winterstein Gillespie (1910–1994), a London-based radiologist of Austrian nobility. Her older sister, Nicola Henrietta St. John Gillespie, was born in 1946. Dana Gillespie was the British Junior
Water Skiing
Champion in 1962.
She recorded initially in the
folk
genre in the mid-1960s. Some of her recordings as a teenager fell into the
teen pop
category, such as her 1965 single "Thank You Boy", written by
John Carter
and
Ken Lewis
and produced by
Jimmy Page
. Page also played, uncredited, on Gillespie's debut LP,
Foolish Seasons
.
Her acting career got under way shortly afterwards, and it overshadowed her musical career in the late 1960s and 1970s.
The song "
Andy Warhol
" was originally written by
David Bowie
for Gillespie, who recorded it in 1971, but her version of the song was not released until 1973 on her album
Weren't Born a Man
. Her version also featured
Mick Ronson
on guitar. After performing backing vocals on the track "It Ain't Easy" from Bowie's
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
, she recorded an album produced by Bowie and
Mick Ronson
in 1973,
Weren't Born a Man
.

Subsequent recordings have been in the
blues
genre, appearing with the London Blues Band. She is also notable for being the original
Mary Magdalene
in the first London production of
Andrew Lloyd Webber
and
Tim Rice
's
Jesus Christ Superstar
,
[1]
which opened at the
Palace Theatre
in 1972. She also appeared on the Original London Cast album. During the 1980s Gillespie was a member of the Austrian
Mojo Blues Band
.
Tony Dana Bowie 1971 LoRes
She is a follower of the late Indian spiritual guru
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
.She performed at his Indian ashram on various occasions, and has also recorded thirteen
bhajan
-based albums in Sanskrit.
Gillespie is the organiser of the annual Blues festival at Basil's Bar on
Mustique
in the
Caribbean
, for fifteen days at the end of January and it is now in its eighteenth year. The house band is the London Blues Band, which consists of Dino Baptiste (piano), Jake Zaitz (guitar), Mike Paice (saxophone), Jeff Walker (bass), and Evan Jenkins (drums) but there are also many other acts. In 2005,
Mick Jagger
appeared as a guest and sang songs such as: "
Honky Tonk Women
", "
Dust My Broom
" and "Goin' Down" but also many other Blues artists have appeared there through the years, such as Big Joe Louis, Joe Louis Walker, Billy Branch, Ronnie Wood and Donald Fagen
