==Biography==
Garnett was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and moved to Canada with her family when she was 11. She made her public singing debut in 1960, while at the same time pursuing an acting career making guest appearances on television shows such as ''77 Sunset Strip.'' She made her New York nightclub debut in 1963 and was signed by RCA Records that same year. In the fall of 1964, Garnett scored a number four pop hit with her original composition "We'll Sing in the Sunshine" (also #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary singles chart for seven weeks and a Top 50 country hit), and recorded her debut album, ''My Kind of Folk Songs,'' for RCA Victor. Riding the success of "We'll Sing in the Sunshine", which won a 1965 Grammy for Best Folk Recording, sold over one million copies thus gaining gold disc status, Garnett continued to record through the rest of the 1960s with her backing band the Gentle Reign. Her follow-up to "We'll Sing in the Sunshine", "Lovin' Place", was her only other single to chart in America. Garnett appeared twice on ABC's ''Shindig!'' and ''The Lloyd Thaxton Show'' at the height of her singing fame in the mid-1960s.
Garnett delivered a notable performance in the Rankin-Bass feature ''Mad Monster Party'' in the late 1960s, with the memorable tunes ''Our Time to Shine'' and ''Never Was a Love Like Mine.'' At this period she had begun to be more influenced by the counter-culture and had embraced psychedelic themes to some extent. In the late 1960s she recorded several albums of psychedelic-inflected music with the Gentle Reign.
