Jaki Whitren


Jaki Whitren was a British singer-songwriter. Her debut album, 'Raw But Tender', featuring the single 'Give Her The Day' which received some airplay on Radio 1, was recorded when she was 19 years old. It was a mix of Blues, Folk and Rock, and she also played guitar and banjo. She played a tour, supporting John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra. She also contributed to the Alan Parsons Project's release in 1977, I Robot.
In later years, she devoted herself to her personal and musical relationship with husband and fellow musician John Cartwright, in a more avant-garde jazz direction. Her only other album was the self-released 'Isis Unveiled'. She died of cancer shortly after his death from a heart attack.
