One more for the L's 

 

  More Disco than Soul but still a great song... Jackie Moore - This Time Baby 

It might be Disco but still like Jackie's version over the O'Jays original. 

 

Melba Moore's big hit on Buddah - This Is It 

Note the "N's" are here...

(don't forget, Girl or Girl Groups only)

I prefer Barbara & The Castles version, but hey that's no good for an "N"

 

Blimey, Barbara Castle! This listing goes deep...
