She is a long-standing member of the London garage rock scene - for a long time she was in the Headcoatees, the female counterpoint to Billy Childish's group the Headcoats. Now she does more croony/ballady things, but in a pre-Beatles, early-60s style, from what I know.

If you want similar stuff, go to some of the French pop of the 60s. Female - France Gall, male - Jacques Dutronc.

She's on the White Stripes song 'It's True That We Love One Another', too.

Holly Golightly is the main female character in the novella BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS by Truman Capote. She was a prostitute. AFAIR. Played by Audrey Hepburn in the movie, opposite George Peppard.

If I've got any elements of that wrong, I apologise to the pedants.
