Musical artist

Kerrie Agnes Biddell (8 February 1947 – 5 September 2014) was an Australian jazz and session singer, as well as a vocal teacher.

Life and career

Born in Kings Cross, New South Wales, the only child of Irish-Catholic parents Kathleen, a jazz pianist and Dan, a solicitors clerk who also played piano. Biddell was sent to St Vincent's Convent in Potts Point at the age of six, soon after her father left her mother.[1] In 1962, Biddell suffered a collapsed lung and rheumatoid arthritis, the latter of which affected her piano playing.

She decided to become a singer, and, in 1967, sang for Dusty Springfield on backing vocals.[2] Im Obituary: Kerrie Biddell - WINEQ
