A British singer/songwriter of the '60s whose voice was far better suited for reaching the back row of Broadway auditoriums than soul or rock, Jackie Trent (born Yvonne Burgess in 1940; she changed her name to Jackie Trent at the age of 14) nonetheless operated on the fringe of the U.K. pop scene in the manner of other femme belters like <a href="spotify:artist:3bCvHtuIXWXPbCMdSYudmZ">Cilla Black</a>, though her efforts were usually even more middle of the road. Her one big triumph was her number one British single in mid-1965, "Where Are You Now (My Love)"; that would be her only Top 20 entry. If she can often sound like <a href="spotify:artist:6nKqt1nbSBEq3iUXD1Xgz8">Petula Clark</a> crossed with <a href="spotify:artist:090VebphoycdEyH165iMqc">Shirley Bassey</a>, there's a good reason for that; she shared <a href="spotify:artist:6nKqt1nbSBEq3iUXD1Xgz8">Clark</a>'s producer, <a href="spotify:artist:0k1Nc8EWBurYtiQXSW6rgj">Tony Hatch</a>, who would become her songwriting partner and husband. Trent and <a href="spotify:artist:0k1Nc8EWBurYtiQXSW6rgj">Hatch</a>, in fact, penned several of <a href="spotify:artist:6nKqt1nbSBEq3iUXD1Xgz8">Clark</a>'s hits, though (with the exception of "Where Are You Now") the composers weren't nearly as successful when applying their songwriting/production talents to Jackie's discs. Trent recorded quite prolifically for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Pye%22">Pye</a> in the '60s (including some duets with husband <a href="spotify:artist:0k1Nc8EWBurYtiQXSW6rgj">Tony</a>), but it's as a songwriter that she'll primarily be remembered. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
