Frances Baskerville, also known as the Singing Psychic, might be known to long-time WFMU listeners from the Incorrect Music show or from Irwin Chusid's book Songs In The Key Of Z. Here is her (second?) album Songs From The Beyond in MP3, in all its clairvoyant lo-fi glory.
MP3s:
01 The Grassy Knoll
02 A Whale Of A Tale
03 Love On A Hill
04 Miracles
05 The Vegetables Song
06 Come Step In My Space
07 Heaven's Highway
08 Dream Walk When You're Hot, You're Hot
09 Angel Talk
10 Dangerous Tools
11 Children Of The Street
If you want to know more about how a lumber truck hit her and unleashed her psychic powers, about Fran's psychic detective work, and how she found more than 5000 missing children, you can listen to an interview with her on the "Judy Joy Jones Show".
Amazing presence! The Judy Joy Jones Show link is fantastic. I think Frances Baskerville might be the basis for Stephanie Wier's psychic lady on MadTV.

I wanted to let you know that Fran Bskerville passed away on August 16th 2009. She passed peacefully at home.
About a month before she passed I asked her where are you at? What do you see? She responded, "I am in a golden tower...everyone is so happy here!I see my daddy smiling and waving at me!" A few weeks before her death on earth her face lit up like a child one day as she told me I am ready to go.

This is so sad to hear. We live in Michigan and she has visited by phone several times on WLAV. God Bless her and may she have peace and love continued in heaven

Thank you Fran for the wonderful, prosperous words you shared with me at a local Dallas Psychic event. You will be missed physically but not spiritually. Accepting you as a Guardian Angel only allows me to know that I've been blessed as well! Thank you for your time while you were here on earth!

This is a little toooo late, just learned by reading this blog that Fran passed away. So sorry to hear it, we visited by phone and once I visited at home. I really enjoyed meeting her and her readings were very insightful. You are at peace and I know happier, but I miss you today more than ever. G.D. - Austin, TX

I am tear ridden to hear that Fran has passed away, not because she is in heaven, but because of the way she touched my life and helped me so long ago. She helped me in a time of need and everything she told me came to pass. i am grateful to have known her, even if it was for a brief time.

Hello everyone :) there is a little known fact that I have not seen posted. Frans youngest son Eddy Franklin Edwards passed away 46 days prior to her. Somewhat unexpectedly!
