Dana Gillespie and her London Blues Band
'Dana Gillespie' (born 30 March
1949 in
London) is an
English actress and singer.
She recorded initially in the
folk genre in the mid-
1960s, although she was more known at this time for being the girlfriend of
Bob Dylan. Some of her recordings as a teenager fell into the
teen pop category, such as the
1966 single "Thank You Boy", produced by
Jimmy Page. Her acting career got under way shortly afterwards, and overshadowed her musical career in the late
1960s and
1970s. After performing backup vocals on
David Bowie's ''
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'', she recorded an album produced by Bowie in
1973. Subsequent efforts have been in the
blues genre, appearing with her "London Blues Band".
She is the daughter of
Baron De Winterstein Gillespie, an Austrian
radiologist, and was the British Junior
Water Skiing Champion for four years until injury forced her retirement.
