Polly Jean Harvey (1969) is an English musician and singer-songwriter.Polly Jean is primarily a vocalist and guitarist, but is also proficient with a wide range of instruments including piano, organ, bass, saxophone, and autoharp. She began her professional career in the early 1990s by forming a band she named PJ Harvey. She recorded her first two albums with this trio, and when they broke up she continued as a solo artist.

\"50ft Queenie\" is the third single by PJ Harvey, and the first from her second studio album \"Rid of Me\". It is performed by Harvey\'s eponymous trio, consisting of Harvey on vocals and guitar, Rob Ellis on drums, and Steve Vaughan on bass. Released in April 1993, the song charted in the United Kingdom and was a Top 30 hit, but failed to chart in the United States.
\"To Bring You My Love\" was Harvey\'s first album proper since disbanding the original PJ Harvey trio in 1993. It is considered to be PJ Harvey\'s breakthrough. It garnered massive critical acclaim worldwide and became her best-selling album\' reaching #2 on Billboard\'s Modern Rock chart. The album itself debuted at #40 on the Billboard chart and #12 in her native UK, and went on to sell roughly one million copies. The single \"Down By the Water\" received extensive airplay on radio and on MTV.
\"Is That All There Is?\" is a song written by American songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller during the 1960s. It became a hit for American singer Peggy Lee from her recording in November 1969. The song was originally recorded by Dan Daniels in March 1968, then by Leslie Uggams in August 1968, Guy Lombardo in 1969, and Tony Bennett on 22 December 1969. This song has been covered by Chaka Khan, Giant Sand, Sandra Bernhard, Alan Price and The Bobs..In 1996 a cover by P.J. Harvey appeared on the \"Basquiat\" soundtrack.
\"Dance Hall at Louse Point\" is a 1996 album by John Parish and Polly Jean Harvey. Parish wrote and played the music, while Harvey sang vocals and wrote the lyrics.The album was viewed by many PJ Harvey fans as a minor side project. It yielded only one single, \"That Was My Veil\", which spent a week at #75 in the UK charts. Harvey later admitted that she left all promotional duties for the record to Parish because she was exhausted following a year of intense promotional activity for her own \"To Bring You My Love\" album in 1995.
\"Uh Huh Her\" is a 2004 album by PJ Harvey. The album was written, recorded and produced over a two-year period by the singer/songwriter herself. She also played every instrument in the album – a first from Harvey since 4-Track Demos back in 1993 – with the exception of the final drum tracks, added by long-time collaborator Rob Ellis. It was released in May 2004. \"Uh Huh Her\" debuted and peaked at number 12 in the UK Albums Chart and has been certified Silver by the BPI. It became Harvey\'s highest charting album to date in the U.S., peaking at number 29 in the Billboard 200, and had sold more than 135,000 copies there as of 2005, according to AskBillboard.The album was preceded by lead single \"The Letter\", which reached #28 in the UK Singles Chart.Other tracks on the album are - \"The Desperate Kingdom Of Love\" and \"Shame\"
