Retired layman looks on in scorn with a transplanted heart

Thursday music corner: Singer and actor Julie Driscoll (b. London, 1947) gained attention in the psychedelic music scene of London in the late 1960s due to her work with Brian Auger & the Trinity, including a UK number five hit when they recorded Bob Dylan's This Wheel's On Fire in 1968. 

This 1969 performance of Indian Rope Man is from the West German TV music show Beat-Club, which ran from 1965 to 1972, and is introduced by British DJ Dave Lee Travis. The track originally appears on the 1969 Driscoll / Auger / Trinity double LP Streetnoise, and was written by Richie Havens, Joe Price and Mark Roth.
