Julie is a stage and screen actress and singer. She is most famous for reaching the top of the U.K. singles chart in 1976 with her definitive version of "Don't Cry for me Argentina" from the musical, "Evita". One year later, she was back in the U.K. charts again with an excellent version of the Alice Cooper song "Only Women Bleed" (#12, in December 1977). As one of the actresses starring in the music business series Rock Follies (1976), Julie had a further U.K. hit with "OK?" which reached #10. Other songs such as "(I Want to see the) Bright Lights", appearing on her album "Julie Covington Plus", were radio hits but no further chart action was forthcoming. Hide
