Jewish singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul has died at the age of 64, after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Her family said that she had been in perfect health and that her death was completely unexpected.
Born Lynsey Monckton Rubin in Edgware, north London, Ms de Paul had a string of pop hits in the 1970s, and represented the UK in the 1977 Eurovision Song Contest.
She was the first woman to win an Ivor Novello award.
