Was Celia Collin but her
career was more famous for the fact that her backing band on her first
single Money Money/Mean To Me (United Artists 1977) - The Mutations - were
The
Stranglers. The connection didn't stop there because she
was discovered by their manager Dai Davies in a Chelsea
restaurant. She was 'mixing Marlene Dietrich songs with
Kinks and Velvet Underground songs. She was so polite
and English that I thought it would be really great to
see her singing in front of a nasty dirty rock band like
The Stranglers. The contrast would be incredible.'
Caroline Coon in the Melody Maker July 77 opined 'Celia
is set to stick at the top...Huge hit potential.'
Unfortunately neither this nor the follow up single
You Better Believe Me/Round And Around
(1977), featuring just Jean Jacques Burnel this time, got
anywhere. Missing in action.
