Julie Ann Felix (June 14, 1938 – March 22, 2020) was an American‑British folk singer and recording artist who became widely known in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly through her appearances on British television. Later in her career she continued to perform and released new work on her own independent label. Felix was born in Santa Barbara, California, to a father of Mexican and Native American heritage and a mother of English and Welsh descent. She graduated from high school in Westchester, Los Angeles, in 1956. Felix grew up surrounded by music. Her father was a professional mariachi musician, while her mother — an amateur singer — filled the home with folk songs, especially those of Burl Ives. Felix learned ukulele and then guitar from her father, and she wrote her first song at the age of seven. After studying speech and drama at the University of California, Santa Barbara, she worked as a sports mistress at a school for children with disabilities. At night she performed in Los Angeles coffeehouses, where she became part of the city’s folk scene and met fellow young musicians, including David Crosby. These early performances set the stage for the international career that followed.
