Julie
Driscoll Tippett (born 8 June 1947) is an English singer and actress,
known for her work with Brian Auger and her husband, Keith Tippett.
Driscoll
is known for her 1960s versions of Bob Dylan and Rick Danko's "This
Wheel's on Fire", and Donovan's "Season of the Witch", both with Brian
Auger and the Trinity. Along with the Trinity, she was featured
prominently in the 1969 television special 33? Revolutions per Monkee,
singing "I'm a Believer" in a soul style with Micky Dolenz. She and
Auger had previously worked in Steampacket, with Long John Baldry and
Rod Stewart.
"This Wheel's on Fire" reached number five in the United
Kingdom in June 1968, number 13 in Canada, and Bubbled Under the
Billboard Hot 100 in the United States at #106 that August. With
distortion, the imagery of the title and the group's dress and
performance, this version came to represent the psychedelic era in
British rock music. Driscoll recorded the song again in the early 1990s
with Adrian Edmondson as the theme to the BBC comedy series Absolutely
Fabulous.
A turning point for Driscoll was meeting Keith Tippett when
his group were among the session players on her first solo album 1969
released in 1971. She soon after married Tippett and has since that time
concentrated on experimental vocal music, using the name Julie
Tippetts, which adopts the original spelling of her husband's surname.
She frequently collaborated with Tippett, not only as a duo - which
includes 1987's phenomenal Couple in Spirit album - but also on many of
his group projects, up until his death in 2020. In 2009 she also started
collaborating with saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist Martin Archer up
until the present, releasing a half-dozen albums up through 2022.
She
took part in Keith Tippett's big band Centipede, and sang in Robert
Wyatt's Theatre Royal Drury Lane concert in 1974. She released a solo
album, Sunset Glow, in 1975; was lead vocalist on Carla Bley's album
Tropic Appetites; and performed on John Wolf Brennan's "HeXtet".
Later
in the 1970s, she toured with her own band and recorded and performed
as one of the vocal quartet Voice, with Maggie Nichols, Phil Minton, and
Brian Eley. She reunited with Auger for the 1978 album Encore.
