My Friend just got Sirius satelite radio and it is awesome, there are so many music channels on it that play not so mainstream music. Anyways, there is this one station called the vault and it is a vintage/classic rock station, and everynight from 10pm to 12am they have a proggresive segment of music that plays everything from ELP to king crimson. THIS BRINGS ME TO MY POINT.  I may be a nieve idiot but they were playing an unreleased version of i talk to the wind and i could swear that the song had a female vocalist.  And i know it was a female or cedric bixler, and i know it isnt one of those two.  does anyone know who the singer is.

I'm not sure, but KC has extensive live material available.  There may be no telling.

Judy Dyble

I believe its from when Giles-Giles-Fripp also were working with Ian McDonald and vocalist Judy Dyble, post their 1968 album, pre King Crimson. 

I could be wrong tho...

You are correct.  It is with Judy Dyble.  My dad has a vinyl copy of a mid-70s Crimson compilation, I think called A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson.  One of the tracks is a demo of I Talk to The Wind in a transitional lineup between Giles Giles and Fripp and King Crimson

Judy Dyble. I have got an old mid 70' tape, recorded to the radio, with that song.

Unless, of course, you were listening to the early 90's House version of 'I
Talk to the Wind' by Opus III, with Kirsty Hawkshaw on vocals... ;)

an Italian band called Violet Eves also released a cover of this song
in the 80s, and they had a female vocalist

Giles, Giles & Fripp - The Brondesbury Tapes (1968) (Entire Release)
Date Submitted: 15-Dec-01

"This isn't as much a GGF opinion, as it is an Interregnum point of view. I am speaking of the GGF cd "The Brondesbury Tapes (1968)"; a collection of home recordings (some of quite amazing quality) by the aforementioned. The music isn't for everyone, although I savoured every track. However, in the historical timeline, it magnificently shows the transformation of GGF to King Crimson. There are several musical themes stated that have transmogrified into the more familiar KC recorded versions. For that reason alone (in my opinion), the cd is a must own for every Crimsoficionado. (I have always been a sucker for the development of a song; from conception to recording.)"

"A simply stunning release, great to hear the G G & F tracks with the addition of Ian MCdonald on flute and saxes. The unreleased tracks featuring Judy Dyble are also a joy especially Make It Today Great Sound quality, great sleeve notes What more do we want????"

"Already partially unleashed on vinyl earlier this year under the name of Metaphormosis, this timely CD release fills in a sizeable hole in the enigmatic career of the mighty Fripp and pals and their part in the creation of the Crimson King. Mainly consisting of demos recorded at the titular address, this document is amazing for two reasons. Firstly, as the splendid sleeve notes demonstrate, this was far more than a couple of mikes fed into a Revox set-up. The sound quality of these pieces is a testament to the precision of artists forced to work under primitive conditions while developing a profile which their first album (The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles And Fripp) - with it's bland production - failed to deliver. Secondly, with its addition of key players such as Ian MacDonald on wind instruments and Pete Sinfield, this shows how a year of hard work away from the limelight could turn a jokey little trio into a powerful musical unit, ready to take on the post psychedelic music scene.

"It is fascinating to finally hear all of the tracks that featured the criminally underrated Judy Dyble, the original vocalist with Fairport Convention. Committed King Crimson fans will already be familiar with her rendition of "I Talk To The Wind", but on the evidence of the other material on offer here, she should have stayed for longer than the mere two or three months it took to record them. "Drop In" by Fripp, which became a Crimson live staple the following year, makes its first appearance here as does a re-versioned "Suite No. 1" which should dispel any notion that the Wimborne wonder was anything less than a young genius of the fretboard.

"Lush harmonies, assured, jazzy instrumentation and a sense of humour (check out those Pythonesque photos!), all wrapped up with most scholarly and amusing sleeve notes from Pete Giles. This is both a lovingly prepared historical document and a well-prepared argument in favour of a band who have, for too long, languished in the shadows as a mere precursor to greater things. Why don't you just drop in?"

No more than reconfirm:

Giles, Giles and Fripp: The Brondesbury Tapes (1968) is the most likely source. Remember Dyble then had just dropped out from Fairport to be replaced by Sandy Denny.
