Lynsey De Paul, the first female winner of an Ivor Novello award, has died at the age of 64 from a suspected brain haemorrhage.
Her agent Michael Joyce issued a statement saying: "Although she was small in stature, she was very big in positive personality. She was always so positive about everything."
De Paul won the award for 'Won't Somebody Dance With Me' in 1974, a song that has the rare distinction of being featured in both The Big Sleep and The Muppet Show.
