Janet Mead topped international charts with The Lord's Prayer in 1974 |
She shot into the charts in 1974 with her international hit The Lord's Prayer, putting the Our Father prayer to a rock tune.
The single was distributed to 31 countries and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide.
She was the first Australian artist to have a gold record in the US and was even nominated for a Grammy award but lost out to Elvis Presley.Ironically, January 26th also happens to be Maria Von Trapp's birthday as well as Australia Day.
Ironically, if Sister Janet was 84 years old when she passed away, or born in 1938 like her Wikipedia page says, then the chances are that she was born in the Year of the Tiger (1938):-)
