Marian Henderson (1937–2015) was an influential Australian folk singer whose warm contralto voice and understated style helped shape the nation’s folk revival in the 1960s and 1970s. Known both for her solo performances and collaborations with key figures in the Sydney folk scene, she became a defining voice on radio and television programs such as *Dave’s Place* and *Bandstand*. Her 1970 album *Cameo* remains a touchstone of Australian folk music, celebrated for its sincerity, lyrical depth, and timeless interpretation of traditional and contemporary songs.
