Little known SSW Chi Coltrane, in albums from 1972 to 1981

Another incredibly beautiful woman, obviously. Again surprising we have never encountered her before, along the same lines as Brit Lesley Duncan who everyone seems to have loved but less emotional, more similar to the recent Sarah Kernochan.  She made 4 albums back in the period in question:

American singer/songwriter, born in Racine, Wisconsin, USA on the 16th of November 1948. Raised in a musical family she begin to study playing piano. After a few years of touring little clubs, she had her first US hit "Thunder And Lightning" in 1972. It hit the charts in the US, but didn't do much in Europe. Her second single "Go Like Elijah" was her major breakthrough in Europe (the single didn't sell very well in her homeland). After a few more hits, she decided to live in Europe, where she had a loyal group of fans, mostly in Germany and Switzerland. She got out of the picture due to a fatigue sickness. She made her comeback in 2009, by releasing another 'Greatest Hits' album and started touring again. She's working on new material too.

From the first album, The Wheel of Life:

The great closer to the 1977 album is called The Road to Tomorrow: 

I really love this song.  Of course, it recalls countless other big late 70s smash hits from the pop music of the times in the chord progression, the dramatic buildup, the sentiments being expressed, the naivete especially so typical of those pre-climate change, pre-political polarization days, but it's still just beautiful.
