SATURDAY NIGHT MUSE, LYNSEY DE PAUL.

Muse with Starlight. Album Black Holes and Revelations (2006).





They are from Teignmouth in Devon, which is just a short distance up north from Torquay.



Lynsey de Paul with Sugar Me. Released as a single in 1972.





Her surname is a composite, with "de" borrowed from her Dutch mother's name "De Groot" and "Paul" being her father's middle name. 1972 was the year of the Munich Massacre, and someone whispered in her name that it was safer not to have a Jewish name - she was born a Rubin.

Eyes, cheekbones, nose, lips, jawline... she's got an Evelyn Nesbit face, the world's first supermodel:




This photo dates from around 1900. Whoever made it was a state of the art photographer.



OK. Goede nacht.
