Leah Kunkel

Jun 14, 1948 - Nov 25, 2024

Baltimore, MD

An iconic songwriter and singer, Leah Kunkel, who was also a member of “The Coyote Sisters,” passed away at the age of 76. Taking her older sister as a model, Leah Kunkel launched her professional journey as a singer in the late 1960s. She sang under the name “Cotton Candy.” After her first record, “Billy,” waned, she started out under her own name. Throughout the ‘70s, she did session work for several big names, including Arlo Guthrie, Carly Simon, Art Garfunkel, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor, among many others. Singing for them helped her find her own voice. Leah also appeared on a string of Garfunkel albums in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to a contract with Columbia Records. She released her self-titled debut LP in 1979, which was closely followed by “I Run With Trouble” in 1980. In 1984, Kunkel connected with Renée Armand and Marty Gwinn Townsend, and the three of them formed a pop-rock trio known as “The Coyote Sisters.” Their self-titled debut just missed the Billboard Top 200 Albums roster, though two singles, “I’ve Got a Radio” and “Straight from the Heart (Into Your Life),” each got into the top 40 Adult Contemporary charts. Only one other LP followed, 2001’s Women and Other Visions, but the group kept on performing live throughout the decades to come. Whenever she was not performing, Kunkel served as a practicing attorney. Being a graduate of Smith College and Western New England School of Law, she maintained a private practice for more than 25 years and was an assistant professor at Western New England School of Law. She left behind a legacy of kindness, passion, and dedication.
