As a way to make ends meet, she worked as a high fashion model and was introduced to photographer Marcus Harrison. Neogys voice piqued his interest, so he offered to record her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith only a microphone and book in hand, Neogy recorded the album within a day. Little did she know, Harrison added instrumentation and shopped it around to several labels before signing a deal with Pulsar records. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter it was released in 1968, Neogys Perfumed Garden received critical acclaim, including praise from French ambassador Andre Malraux who wrote I have never heard anything like this. Your voice is exquisite, layered and hauntingly sensuous. Prestigious newspapers reviewed the album, one of which being the London Times, who compared Neogys enunciation to Lawrence Olivier, her range to Yma Sumac, and her sensuality to Eartha Kitt! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaving the music industry behind to pursue dramatic arts, Neogy went on to perform in films like To Sir With Love, Lady J, Premonition, Elizas Horoscope, The Saint, and The Prisoner.
