Stay With Me Till Dawn - Judie Tzuke 7" 45

Product Information

Judie says she had decided to lose some weight – “I’ve always had a little bit of a weight problem” – and lost three and a half stone. They’ve always been great,” says Judie of her fans. “It’s just me. I’ve always been so self-conscious and fearful that they might not like me any more.” Then Judie tells me: “I was very ill two years ago. I had cancer. But before then I’d been absolutely terrified of being on stage and terrified of ever saying anything.

Tzuke released her tenth studio album, Under the Angels, in October 1996 on her own label, Big Moon Records. Recordings from a tour to promote the album culminated in another live album, Over the Moon (1997). Following the muted reception of The Cat Is Out, Tzuke signed with another major label, Polydor Records, in 1987. She began working on her seventh album, though took some time off in June 1987 when she gave birth to her first daughter, Bailey. The album, Turning Stones, was released in April 1989, peaking at No. 57 on the UK Albums Chart. It was preceded by the single " We'll Go Dreaming", which had peaked at No. 96 several weeks earlier. While she may have been looking fit and healthy, the weight loss had affected her, prompting her to seek the help which eventually led to a diagnosis and a hysterectomy.

Versions

There is a lot you have to come to terms with. But at the moment I’m happy to be alive and to be able to sing.” Left Hand (Media notes). Judie Tzuke. Columbia Records. {{ cite AV media notes}}: CS1 maint: others in cite AV media (notes) ( link) Yes, anything. Sometimes they do. They don’t have to, but it’s fantastic when they do because it makes every concert unique. Judie’s first album, Welcome to the Cruise, signalled her song-writing ability – that’s where you’ll find the sublime Stay With Me Till Dawn – and there have been plenty of others since. In 1982, Tzuke signed to Chrysalis Records and released her fourth album, Shoot the Moon. [2] Although the album reached the UK top 20, it was Tzuke's last album to do so. Three singles were taken from the album (including a 7" picture disc release for "I'm Not a Loser"), but none were chart hits. Tzuke completed a 57 date tour of the UK, culminating as the headline act at that year's Glastonbury Festival. The performance was recorded for a TV special by ITV. Several performances from the tour were recorded and released at the end of 1982 as a double album, Road Noise: The Official Bootleg. [2]

I was a young girl who used to write little poems each day, usually poems which had a regularity and rhythm to them. I started writing songs when I was 14 and I still do it. Road Noise (Media notes). Judie Tzuke. Chrysalis Records. {{ cite AV media notes}}: CS1 maint: others in cite AV media (notes) ( link)I do these gigs with musicians who are my friends so it’s a very intimate atmosphere. We’ll play and we’ll talk. It’s really like going out with a few friends.”

I didn’t keep the cancer a secret. I never put out a press release or anything like that but I think some people knew. With my cancer (of the womb) I didn’t have any symptoms – and I really want to use what’s happened to me to help other women to find out earlier if they have the same thing. But I had a terrible throat infection and thought I could sing through, it but I couldn’t. I went to bed very upset.”Stay with Me till Dawn" is a 1979 single by Judie Tzuke from her debut album Welcome to the Cruise. [3] Written by Tzuke and Mike Paxman and produced by John Punter, the song was Tzuke's only Australian and UK top 40 single, charting at number 8 and 16 respectively. Having said that, the warmth and support emanating from the audience – who, points out Judie, can’t usually be seen because of the lights – had a positive effect. I catch Judie as she is doing some of the publicity legwork ahead of a new run of gigs, one of which brings her to Sage Gateshead in April. I’ve always been quite a depressive person and putting my feelings into songs makes me feel better.” Over the Moon (Media notes). Judie Tzuke.

In 1990, she switched to Columbia Records (CBS). In August, she released a new single, a cover version of the Beach Boys song " God Only Knows". [2] However, the song failed to gain chart success. The song featured in an ITV documentary series about recording techniques, where Tzuke and her producers Mike Paxman and Paul Muggleton showed how the song had been constructed using samples of her voice which were transposed into a synthesizer range. Her eighth album, Left Hand Talking, was released by Columbia in May 1991. [2] "Outlaws" was released as a single by Columbia in June 1991, but neither the album nor single made an impact upon the charts. Her tenure with Columbia ended after only one album. It’s called Judie Tzuke – Songs and Stories, which is me singing songs acoustically and then talking about the songs. Judie Tzuke ( / z uː k/ ZOOK; born Judie Myers, 3 April 1956) is an English singer-songwriter. She is best known for her 1979 hit " Stay with Me till Dawn", which reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart.

I work with a lot of young artists, up-and-coming people. I write for them and I’ve also started to write a few songs for myself again.” Tzuke signed with another small independent label for the release of her ninth album, Wonderland, which was released in September 1992 by Essential Records (a subsidiary of the now-defunct Castle Communications). [2] Two singles from the album, "Wonderland" and "Fly", were performed on the BBC1 lunchtime programme Pebble Mill at One in November 1992. The album, which featured musician Brian May and violinist Nigel Kennedy, did not chart. [2] But now it’s all systems go again. “There is a lot to be happy about,” says Judie, telling me with understandable pride that Bailey’s daughter, Rani, will shortly celebrate her first birthday.
