Lesley Duncan (born 12 August 19??, in Stockton-on-Tees) is an English singer-songwriter, best known for her work during the 1970s. She received a lot of airplay on British radio stations such as BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2, but never achieved great commercial success. Her songs were often about life and its problems, for example "Everything Changes" and "Sing Children Sing". Elton John covered a duet with her on his album Tumbleweed Connection, which was similar to her own version of "Love Song."
(Duncan also appeared onstage with John in a 1974 concert at the Royal Festival Hall to once again perform the duet. The live recording of "Love Song" was included on John's "Here and There" album. The version on "Tumbleweed Connection" remains one of the few songs to appear on a formal Elton John studio album composed solely by someone other than John, Taupin, one of their collaborators or a member of the band.)
Duncan contributed backing vocals to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon album, as well as singing lead on the song "If I Could Change Your Mind" on the Alan Parsons Project album Eve. As well as writing and singing her own material, Duncan was a backing vocalist in the mid to late 1960s and 1970s, most notably for Dusty Springfield.
