‘Too wild for TV’: Trailblazing Aussie rock ‘n’ roller Judy Cannon has died

Australia’s first female rock star Judy Cannon, who worked with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Johnny O’Keefe and Cliff Richard, has passed away.

Cannon, who was known as the female equivalent of hellraiser O’Keefe, was born in Melbourne in 1939 and started her singing career performing at suburban dances and town halls in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

She released a number of songs with the Thunderbirds and as a solo artist during the early 1960s.

In 1963 Cannon moved to England to try her luck on the international scene.

She stayed in England for 13 years where she worked as a session singer and featured as a backing vocalist on Jimi Hendrix’s hit Hey Joe. She also had a successful musical theatre career, landing roles in a number of West End shows including the original production of Gypsy, Oh What A Lovely War, Guys and Dolls, and Bordello.

Cannon returned to Australia in 1976 and joined Play School briefly as a presenter.

Cannon passed away in Ballarat on August 29 aged 84, after a long battle with illness. She is survived by her daughters Cass and Denny.

Here is a biography of Judy Cannon written by Graeme Davy of 4TR in 2021. In readers’ comments below the article, you can see updates from Graeme and other readers on Judy’s passing.
