description: "Judith Anne Henske was an American singer and songwriter, dubbed \"the Queen of the Beatniks\" by producer Jack Nitzsche. Initially performing in folk clubs in the early 1960s, her performances and recordings embraced blues, jazz, show tunes, and humorous material. Her 1963 recording of \"High Flying Bird\" was influential on folk-rock, and her 1969 album Farewell Aldebaran, with her then husband Jerry Yester, was an eclectic \"fusion of folk music, psychedelia, and arty pop\"."
