Kirsty MacColl: Humor, Tragedy, and Song
Incisive Lyrics, a Great Voice, and a Tragic End
From her witty satires to her songs of longing, Kirsty MacColl was a consummate singer and songwriter.  Her voice, creativity, and sense of fun allowed her to cross genre lines and build a strong following.  Unfortunately, the careless pilot of a speedboat ended her life in 2000.  You can find here a tribute to her talent and her wit as well as links to some of her fantastic music.  Please post the title of your favorite Kirsty MacColl song and anything else you'd like in my guestbook.

One of my favorite singers, I always though Kirsty McColl had a presence, even on Top of the Pops! Taken away too early, I don't think she reached her full potential. Here is a collection of her best videos. Which is your favorite?

Kirsty MacColl - Singer, Songwriter
An Untimely Loss
I moved to the US in the early 90s and lost contact with a lot of the things I enjoyed, one of which was Kirsty MacColl's music. I've rediscovered it and this lens is meant as a celebration of her talent. If you are new to Kirsty's music then I would recommend watching the video "New England". This is my personal favorite and contains the immortal line "I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill".
