A new documentary is bringing a lost yet influential music star back into the spotlight. In the early 1970s singer-songwriter Judee Sill overcame drug addiction, time in prison, and the absence of her family, to become a pop recording artist. Signed to David Geffen’s influential record label, Sill was all set for stardom but it never fully arrived. Though her music was loved by a large core of fans and especially by fellow musicians, she never found chart success and fell into obscurity before dying tragically young in 1979. Documentarians Andy Brown and Brian Lindstrom found Judee’s music and have spent the past decade working on bringing her legend back to life. They’ve done that with the new brilliant documentary Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill. Brian and Andy spoke with Wake Up Tri-Counties about the documentary on Tuesday morning.
