Julie Rayne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julie Rayne is a British singer and entertainer, noted for her television appearances and recordings from the early 60s. Rayne made several appearances on Stars and Garters and Thank Your Lucky Stars between 1961 and 1963.[1] She has performed alongside John Barry, Adam Faith,[2] and Sir Cliff Richard.[3]

Her later performances often include one Christian song as an expression of her faith. Minister Fred B. Craddock mentions in his book an instance in Germany where Rayne performed a version of Psalm 121 amongst popular songs from the 40s through to the 60s.[4] Craddock asked to meet with Rayne after a performance and wondered why Rayne chose to include a Christian song in her performance. Rayne answered that she 'had made a promise to God to include a song of praise in every performance.'[5]
