Sister Janet Mead, the South Australian Sister of Mercy musician whose pop version of “The Lord’s Prayer” was a hit in the 1970s, has died. Her version of “The Lord’s Prayer” made her the first Australian with a US gold record. The song went on to become an international hit that reached the furthest villages in the Philippines in the 70s and 80s, back in the days when the transistor radio was the most advanced communication technology.
