Laurie Maitland slams Kathy Redfern


Sad thing was Kathy Redfern wouldn't sing on the record of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love", because her voice wouldn't carry a note. She would never learn to sing on records. That's why her voice was weak and shy due to too much whispering. A reward she didn't deserve.

  Do you remember that spoiled-up, outrageous ‘big boys don’t cry’ commotion that made a mess in midsong on 10cc’s massive 1975 hit “I’m Not In Love”? Well whatever happened to that short-lived so-called spoken-word artist? Maybe the question is what short-lived spoken word artist as that vocal was recorded by the then Strawberry Studios Receptionist Kathy Redfern (although some internet sites have her surname as Warren). The song went to number one in the UK, Canada and Ireland and was taken from their 1975 top 5 album ‘The Original Soundtrack’. It was the second of the band’s three UK number ones. The others were “Rubber Bullets” in 1973 and “Dreadlock Holiday” in 1978.
