Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Here's my "T": THREE DEGREES and my all time favorite by this Philly female trio: "Long Lost Lover"
Tomangoes Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 One of my absolute faves, but cant dance properly to it all the way through (any more!!) Ed

Guest Soulatthedale Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Monster in the mid 70s, what a voice!
Mickey Finn Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 On 1/6/2018 at 11:25, Kenb said: My "R" - i'll pop an "S" on Sunday then we should be back in-line. maybe controversial again... ‘Don’t You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come’(Besse Banks)is a track that was first played at Blackpool Mecca in 1976 . Greg Wilson, UK DJ launched his Super Weird Substance label back in June 2015. Having featured on the label's inaugurating release alongside Wilson, Seacombe-based twins The Reynolds step up for their debut proper with a superb cover version of a Northern Soul classic. Vocals from Katherine and Carmel Reynolds ride the production work by Greg Wilson and Lee 'Peza' Perry. If you had posted something by the other Reynolds Girls then I could see reason for controversy Then again, there's always LJ's sister Jeannie: 1
Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 A gospel / bluesy female singer as a solo act and with the Harptones: Ruth McFadden and "Gheto Woman" on Gamble Records (she also recorded "Rover Rover" on G & H label Huff Puff). She is IMHO another artist (among others as The Vibrations, Executive Suite, Honey & The Bees,...) that I don't understand how G & H don't spend some effort for keep them on their label...
Mickey Finn Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Backtracking to Q briefly, Queen Latifah is quite a fine singer, and there's a good few tracks on her "Dana Owens Album" that showcase her talents very well. She has recorded proper songs earlier, as in her take of Curtis Mayfield's "Give me your love" on her 1991 album "Nature of a sista". That's not available, so jumping now to S (via L and a few other letters) we can enjoy the version of that same tune by Sisters Love:
Mickey Finn Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Jumping forward to S, a double header with Sylvia Striplin doing a different "Give me your love" (also featured in the earlier posted Eighties Ladies): 1
Guest Soulatthedale Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Not really my cup of tea but it was massive and its a 'U'
Guest Soulatthedale Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Uptempo stormer, never had the plays it deserves

Mgm 1251 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 ..here’s another for “U”.. ...a superb oldie from Leslie... 1
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Isaac Hayes was an early supporter of Rhonda Thomas:
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Nice and groovy uptempo tune from Tasha Thomas:
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Maybe not the sound of Detroit normally featured here, but it's a U and a Y so deserves entry on that basis alone - Underground Resistance featuring Yolanda:
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) She has recorded more recently as Mashaa, and there's a nice 7 on Hit and Run recorded in 1979 but only released around 2011 ("You're gonna lose my love"), but Erma Shaw is probably still best known for her work with Canadian disco legend Gino Soccio: Edited January 10, 2018 by Mickey Finn 1
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 This track closes the recent excellent Kent comp of Nashville soul producer Bob Holmes' work. This was recorded in Wisconsin and was supposed to be followed by an album which seems never to have been released. Stuff in the can, perhaps? Let's hope so - would be nice to hear more of Ruthie:
Kenb Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 Vrooom-let's get the "V's" going (note: female artists/female groups)
Mickey Finn Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Backtracking again - no way we're missing Kym Mazelle. She did a very respectable version of "Was that all it was", but this earlier recording sweeps all before it:
Tomangoes Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Go on out and have your celebration..................Our Yvonne is a real top vocalist Ed
Tomangoes Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I would really like to list this, but I don't know the lead singers name..........anybody help? Ed
The Yank Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The lead singer is thought to be Marlene "Dimples" Harris .
Tomangoes Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Marcene? Could well be. Had the vocal range. I just love the girls who can scream a note and make it sound soulful, as in this tune. Hard to find anything out about the group. Not seen any other releases. Ed
Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 My contribution to the "V" letter: VIVIAN REED (a Philly track produced by Thom Bell)
Mickey Finn Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Remember buying this blind and being very taken with the whole album - Vivienne McKone:
Mickey Finn Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Back to M - did we really miss Stephanie Mills? 1
Mickey Finn Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 And while we're on the Mtume & Lucas tip, what about Tawatha (Agee), who appears on this gem by Gary Bartz:
Mickey Finn Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Back to S - while she did an album with Mtume & Lucas that had a few very good tracks on it, this duet with Michael Henderson still stands tall for Rena Scott:
