Susan Christie was born in 1942 in Philadelphia. She studied music at Berkelee College of Music in Boston. John Hill, who Christie met as part of a junior high school play production, went with her to Cameo-Parkway Records. At the time, Hill and Christie were part of a folk group called The Highlanders that was on the folk festival circuit in New England. In 1966, Susan Christie released a single titled “No One Can Hear You Cry”. The haunting jazz-pop influenced single was a commercial flop.
