Wendy June Saddington also known as Gandharvika Dasi (26 September 1949 - 21 June 2013) was an Australian blues, soul and jazz singer, and was in the bands Chain, Copperwine and the Wendy Saddington Band. She wrote for teen pop newspaper Go-Set from September 1969 to September 1970 as an agony aunt in her weekly "Takes Care of Business" column, and as a feature writer. Saddington had Top 30 chart success with her 1972 solo single "Looking Through a Window", which was written and produced by Billy Thorpe and Warren Morgan of the Aztecs. After adopting Krishna Consciousness in the 1970s she took the name Gandharvika Dasi. In March 2013 she was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and died on 21 June, aged 63.
Note: Released in Australia on the Infinity label in 1977, this is a reissue of the album 'Wendy Saddington & The Copperwine', which was recorded live at the Wallacia Festival in New South Wales in January 1971, plus a 1972 single, and a couple of extra tracks from the early 1970s with Wendy singing with noted Aussie rockers such as Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, Ross Wilson, and Kevin Borich Express
Thanks a lot, Bob. When I get back from vacation, I'll download it, along with everything else I have pending. We have poor coverage in the mountains where I'm staying, and I haven't brought any storage media with me. Cheers.
