Went to see her live, recording a BBC radio gig at the Paris Studios in Regent St thirty years or more ago. Lovely lady and lovely music IMO...
The first CD issue on Rocket Records spoiled it for me, because there was a tape drop-out right in the middle when she wants to "break out and SAA*?*!AAAyaaaay. This track on a compilation CD I have somewhere doesn't do this, so either a different tape was used, or the original may have just suffered on that one pass - there is a problem with many masters that the oxide comes away from the backing due to normal humidity and tapes have to be baked for a while to enable them to be played - once only I understand.
Anyway, Judie has a way with her singing that I find quite enchanting and as for her wonderful album "Left Hand Talking" from 1994(edit - 1991, was it really that long ago?)....................

Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
