to England
in the 1920s, and changed their surname from Tzuke to Myers. Her mother, Jean Silverside, was a television actress, and her father, Sefton Myers, was a successful property developer who also managed artist
s and singers—most notably Andrew Lloyd Webber
and Tim Rice
during the writing of Jesus Christ Superstar
. When Tzuke embarked on her singing career, she decided to reclaim the family's Polish name as her stage name.
Educated in the visual arts
, performing arts
, and music
, Tzuke performed in folk clubs from the age of 15. Her meeting with Mike Paxman
in 1975 was a turning point and they began to collaborate. Under the name Tzuke & Paxo, they eventually secured a recording contract and the duo released a single, "These are the Laws", which was produced by Tony Visconti
.
Tzuke's career as a solo artist began in 1977, when she signed to Elton John
's label Rocket Records
. Her first single was on Rocket, "For You", was released in 1978. However, her first major success, "Stay with Me till Dawn", was released in 1979. The track, which was co-written by Tzuke with Mike Paxman, became a Top 20 hit in the UK in the summer of 1979 and a #1 hit in Australia and was featured on Tzuke's 1979 debut album, Welcome to the Cruise
, which was also a Top 20 hit. In 2002, "Stay With Me Till Dawn" was chosen by the British public in a poll of the 50 Best British Songs 1952-2002 (ranking at number 39). The song was also sampled by Mylo
in the song "Need You Tonite", which is taken from his 2004 album Destroy Rock & Roll
.
Tzuke's second album, Sportscar
(1980), charted higher than her debut album (reaching no.7 in the UK), but did not contain any hit singles. Both albums were certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry
in 1981. Tzuke became Elton John's support act for his North American tour, and went on to release one more album on Rocket, I Am the Phoenix
(1981), which also made the UK Top 20.
and released her fourth album, Shoot The Moon. Although the album reached the UK Top 20, it was Tzuke's last album to do so. Three singles were taken from the album (including a 7" picture disc release for "I'm Not A Loser"), but none were chart hits. Tzuke completed a 57 date tour of the UK, culminating as the headline act at that year's Glastonbury Festival
. The performance was recorded for a TV special by ITV
. Several performances from the tour were recorded and released at the end of 1982 as a double album, Road Noise: The Official Bootleg
.
In 1983, Rocket Records issued a compilation album, The Best of Judie Tzuke, and released the track "Black Furs" as a single (the original version of which was on Tzuke's 1981 album I Am The Phoenix). September 1983 saw the release of Tzuke's fifth studio album, Ritmo
(italian for "rhythm"). The album was somewhat a departure from her previous work with a much more electronic feel. The single "Jeannie No" preceded the album and gained radio airplay but did not chart. An edit and extended remix of the track were issued on 7" and 12" single formats (Tzuke's first). The subsequent single "How Do I Feel?" did not fare any better, and the album itself peaked at no.26 in the UK. Neither the album or singles were released internationally. During autumn 1983, Tzuke toured a series of larger (but fewer) venues.
After two albums, Tzuke left Chrysalis Records, believing that the company was no longer interested in promoting her records. Wanting to take greater control of her work, she signed with the small independent company Legacy Records for the release of her next album. A new single, "You", was released in October 1984. A cover of a lesser-known Marvin Gaye
track, Tzuke's version turned a rather sedate piece into a grinding electro production. It peaked at no.92 in the UK, and several different versions of the track were released on 7" and 12" formats. In March 1985, "I'll Be The One" was issued as a new single from Tzuke's forthcoming sixth album, The Cat Is Out
, which was mainly recorded at her home studio and released in June 1985. The single peaked at no.97, while the album peaked at no.35 on the UK Album Chart. A third single, "Love Like Fire", was released shortly afterwards, again with several versions on 7" and 12" formats, though this failed to chart. September 1985 saw a fourth single from the album, "This Side of Heaven", which co-incided with Tzuke's national concert tour, though this too failed to chart. The show at Fairfield Halls
in Croydon was recorded for a television special which, several years later, was issued as a CD/DVD release.
Following the muted reception of The Cat Is Out, Tzuke signed with another major label, Polydor Records
, in 1987. She began working on her seventh album, though took some time off in June 1987 when she gave birth to her daughter, Bailey. However, the release of the album was delayed further after Polydor first requested that Tzuke work with a producer of their choice rather than with her usual team. The collaboration with Polydor's preferred producer was strained, not least of all due to Tzuke being pregnant at the time. Eventually, Polydor agreed to allow Tzuke to re-record the entire album with her own team of husband Paul Muggleton and Mike Paxman. The album, Turning Stones
, was released in April 1989, peaking at no.57 in the UK Album Chart. It was preceded by the single "We'll Go Dreaming", which had peaked at no.96 several weeks earlier. Further problems arose between Tzuke and Polydor which led to the last minute cancellation of her 1989 tour, enraging fans who had turned up to venues. Tzuke later apologised to fans, and when she appeared as a guest on Radio 1
's Friday evening record review show Round Table, she claimed that the cancellation of the tour was out of her control but she had been prevented from saying anything publicly on the matter by the record company.
1990 saw Tzuke switch to another record company, Columbia Records
(CBS), her fifth label in less than ten years. In August, she released a new single, a cover version of the Beach Boys classic "God Only Knows
". Despite the single being issued in various formats (7", 7" poster wrap, limited edition numbered 10", 12", cassette-single and CD-single) and a video being made, the song failed to gain chart success. A limited promo 12" was issued of a remix made by DJ Judge Jules
. The song also featured in an ITV documentary series about recording techniques, where Tzuke and her producers Mike Paxman and Paul Muggleton showed how the song had been constructed using sound bytes of her voice which were transposed into a synthesizer range.
Tzuke's eighth album, Left Hand Talking
, was released by Columbia in May 1991. Promotion for the album had begun in March when a 3-track promo had been issued widely to independent record stores, and Tzuke made two live performances at London's Shaw Theatre
in April. These performances were the first time neither Muggleton, Paxman or Bob Noble were part of her live band. "Outlaws" was released as a single by Columbia in June 1991, but neither the album nor single made an impact upon the charts despite Radio 1 DJ Richard Skinner
making "Outlaws" his record of the week on his Saturday afternoon show. Much like her contract with Polydor, Tzuke's tenure with Columbia ended after only one album.
Tzuke signed with another small independent label for the release of her ninth album, Wonderland
, which was released in September 1992 by Essential Records (a subsidiary of the now-defunct Castle Communications
). Two singles from the album, "Wonderland" and "Fly", were performed on the BBC1 lunchtime programme Pebble Mill At One
in November 1992, after Tzuke had performed a concert tour of smaller venues in October and November. Neither the album nor singles charted, despite featuring the talents of Brian May
from Queen
and Nigel Kennedy
on violin. Tzuke stated in a later interview (used in the inner booklet of the 2002 reissue of the album) that Wonderland was the album she felt most proud of as a songwriter.
August 1995 saw the release of two albums. The BBC issued its recording of Tzuke's "Radio 1 in Concert" performance from 1981, and Polygram issued a compilation album entitled Stay With Me Till Dawn which drew on Tzuke's first three albums released on Rocket Records with tracks from the Turning Stones album on Polydor Records. The album included four single remixes which had not previously been available on CD.
, in October 1996 on her own label Big Moon Records. The album was previewed by two dates at London's Jazz Cafe in August 1996 and in Dublin in October that year. Three tours to promote the album, playing at over 30 venues, took place in January/February, June and November 1997. Recordings from the tour culminated in another live album, Over the Moon (1997).
In 1998, Tzuke released her eleventh studio album, Secret Agent
, again on her own label, Big Moon. Bob Harris
of BBC Radio 2
included one of the album's tracks, "Tonight", on his compilation CD Bob Harris Presents... (Vol.1). In 2000, Tzuke gained the rights to her first three albums recorded for Rocket Records and reissued them on CD via Big Moon. She named her tour later that year the "Phoenix Tour", a reference to her last Rocket Records album, I Am the Phoenix. Following this came a new live album, Six Days Before the Flood
(2000), and a new studio album Queen Secret Keeper
(2001). Another live album, Drive Live
, was released in 2002.
Tzuke then released an album of covers
, The Beauty of Hindsight
, in September 2003. A self-promoted tour in September ended with two nights at London's Bush Hall. Two dates in March 2004 were played at London's Cabot Hall in Canary Wharf
as part of the Docklands Music Festival and the following night at Dartford's Mick Jagger Centre, previewing two new tracks - "Addiction" (never released but later part of the B.E.D. Ver 1.0 and Ver 1.5 albums with Tzuke on backing vocals) and "Before I Found My Heart".
In 2004, musician Mylo
sampled "Stay With Me Till Dawn" for the single "Need You Tonite" from his debut album Destroy Rock & Roll
.
Autumn 2004 saw Tzuke release her thirteenth album, The End of the Beginning
, which saw her returning to a much heavier rock style on many of the tracks and the use of strings for the first time since 1981. Most of the album was played as part of her tour in October of that year. 2002 X Factor
runner-up Gareth Gates
joined Tzuke on stage to sing backing vocals on the track "Bully". The pair were first introduced by Lucie Silvas
who had previously been one of Tzuke's backing singers and had also written material for Gates. Silvas and Tzuke also co-wrote most of the songs for Silvas' platinum-selling 2004 album Breathe In
, and co-wrote four tracks for Silvas' 2006 album The Same Side
. Tzuke also provided backing vocals.
In January 2006, one of Tzuke's co-writes, "Strange Love", hit the UK top twenty for the group Phixx
. Later in 2006, Tzuke provided vocals for the song "Falling Down" for the group Hybrid
on their album I Choose Noise. In 2007, two other Tzuke co-writes featured on the eponymous album by the Canadian brothers RyanDan
. "Like The Sun" and "High" were both released as singles, and the album reached number 7 in the UK album charts.
In 2007, Tzuke released her fifteenth album, Songs 1
. It was accompanied by her biggest tour in almost a decade, with her daughter Bailey Tzuke
on backing vocals, and collaborations with other musicians, such as Gareth Gates
on piano (Gates also co-wrote the album's track "Dark Days" with Tzuke). March 2007 saw the download single release of "Cup of Tea Song" from the album.
Tzuke also collaborated with David P Goodes and co-wrote the song "What's It All For" for Laura Michelle Kelly
.
June 2008 saw the release of Tzuke's sixteenth studio album, Songs 2
. The same year, Tzuke co-wrote four tracks with the band Morcheeba
, and featured as a vocalist on two tracks from their Dive Deep
album, including the lead single "Enjoy The Ride". In October 2008, Tzuke reached no.37 in the USA Adult Contemporary chart when she provided vocals for the American Jazz combo Project Grand Slam on their self-titled album. The track, "Captain Of The Heart", was not officially released as a single, but charted through airplay. Hot on the heels of this there was an official USA release (via CD Baby only) and international download release of the single "Christmas And I'm Home", which Tzuke had written with Gareth Gates in 2004 (Gates had already released his own version of the song). Tzuke recorded versions of the song with Haim Cotton, the pianist with Project Grand Slam. Proceeds from sales went to the New York Ronald McDonald's charity.
On 18 July 2009, Tzuke took part in a Teenage Cancer benefit concert at Kilworth House
, Leicestershire alongside Lucie Silvas
. She performed three tracks solo ("Love Me No More", "Stay With Me Till Dawn" and "If (When You Go)") accompanied by a string quartet. She returned to the stage for an encore performance alongside Silvas, singing their co-written "Place To Hide" as a duet.
In 2010, Tzuke released a thirty year celebratory double-album titled Moon On a Mirrorball, via a new deal with Wrasse Records. The collection featured over thirty songs from her back catalogue, some re-recorded songs and some new songs, one of which, "If (When You Go)", was performed on Michael Ball
's Radio 2 show in August 2009. The track was released as a single in April 2010, and the song "Love You No More" was made available as a 1-track promo single. Wrasse also re-released all of Tzuke's Big Moon back catalogue as downloads, and reissued her debut album Welcome To The Cruise on CD. Wrasse also have plans to re-issue Tzuke's 1989 album Turning Stones, which was deleted by Polydor soon after its release and has become something of a rarity since then.
A planned tour for June 2010 to promote Moon On A Mirrorball was delayed, despite tickets having been on sale for Wavendon Stables and London's Leicester Square Theatre. The tour eventually went ahead in October 2010, encompassing 13 towns and cities. A live album, The October Road, was recorded from the tour and was released in March 2011 via Tzuke's official website.
In July 2011, BGO Records remastered and re-issued Tzuke's 1983 album Ritmo.
The track "Solid Shoulders" by The Goodes featuring Judie Tzuke was released as a download single on 25 July 2011.
