  Julie Covington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julie Covington (born September 11, 1947) is an English singer and actress best known for recording the original version of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina".
Covington's break came in 1967 when, whilst still a student at Homerton College, Cambridge, she was invited to sing on David Frost's television show, after which she secured a record deal.
After moving to the theatre, her performance in the 1976 television show Rock Follies led to her landing the title role in the original studio recording of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical Evita.

 Encyclopedia: Julie Covington
Covington's version, from the British soundtrack album, was a #1 hit and musically at least forms a template for most other readings: the huge juddering strings, the rhetorical dynamics, the switch into a slow tango-tempo for the penultimate chorus.
In Covington's hands it's an entirely staged vulnerability - hers is the haughtiest reading of the tune, sung by a career-politician Evita whose peasant origins have long been cauterised.
Her performance has the same aristocratic clarity as Julie Covington's, but of course there are more sibilants, more rolled r's, and Covington's declamatory sting is missing.

 Julie Covington: The Beautiful Changes ... Plus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In spite of the score's distinguished subsequent history, there are some of us for whom Julie's original version remains supreme, in its combination of her hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-raising vocal with the since-unequalled depth and sheen of the original symphony orchestra backing.
It's a sublime-to-the-ridiculous jump for me to recall that the first time I met Julie and heard her sing was in my college room in 1966 when she responded to an ad on her college noticeboard and came to audition for a Rag Day revue which some friends and I were organising.
If Julie hadn't almost immediately gone on to such notable successes, I might have felt guilty that our songs had blighted her prospects, but listening to the album again after 28 years (good grief!) I'm reassured that after all it's the sheer immediacy and richness of Julie's singing which still comes shining through most strongly.

 MusicSearcher.com: Julie Covington | Julie Covington...Plus
Julie Covington has one of the most distinctive voices in British pop music and is probably best-known internationally as the original Eva on the 1976 EVITA concept album (her version of 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' still shows that the original is usually the best).
Covington's warm and loving vocal on this song sends shivers down the spine.
There is acknowledgement of Covington's stage experience with a particularly fine version of Brecht/Weill's 'Barbara Song' from "The Threepenny Opera" as well as some 1970s 'rocking' numbers ('I Can't Dance', 'Dead Weight') which now sound charmingly quaint.

Julie Covington's Dee, Charlotte Cornwell's Anna and Rula Lenska's Q ostensibly represented lower, middle and upper classes at the start of the first series, but they are now real individuals and it is their personalities that spark, not their backgrounds.
Julie Covington's performance is pitch perfect, dramatically as well a musically, from her stillness in some of the Spike dialogues to the exuberance of "Roll Your Own" (where, with her curly hair and long smock she looks uncannily like Mister Frodo enjoying Bilbo's birthday).
Rula Lenska conveys the insecurities of Q with real subtlety, at least until the final episode where her plot strand goes back to the more cartoony flavour of parts of the first series.
