Gloria Barnes - You Don't Mean It

[Guest Juniorsoul]

Anyone got a sound file of the above? I believe that it's an LP only track?
Almost exactly the same as the Towanda Barnes version, but with bigger drums!
Also, anyone got any info about the track?

[Tezza]

Isn't Gloria Barnes and Towanda Barnes one in the same ?

Yes, but the song in question is the earlier,raw take, not better,just different.

On the lp sleeve notes, she is referred to as Tiwanda Barnes

You'll find it on the B side of the UK Grapevine release of Sam Williams 'Love slipped through my fingers'.
Correct Tezza, Gloria and Towanda are the same person.

Will have to search that out.  You Tube ?
