Tributes Pour In For Denise Johnson
The vocalist worked on a raft of seminal recordings...
Tributes are pouring in for Manchester vocalist *Denise Johnson*.
The singer was a key fixture in the city's music community for more than 25 years, matching sterling session work with her own material.
A sought after vocalist, Denise Johnson's voice adorns Primal Scream's rave classic 'Don't Fight It, Feel It'.
Yet there's far more to her work than this - Denise entered the studio to grace recordings by Electronic, A Certain Ratio, and many, many more.
Sadly, *news of her passing* was confirmed yesterday afternoon (July 27th) by close friend and fellow vocalist Rowetta.
Here's just a few tributes.
