Guest Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) How did this precocious female pass by the hit-parade mill of the 60's? Every time I listen to her tracks I think, f*** me, what an awesome vocal! How could something so fantastic be so overlooked? Is she still alive? What's your favourite track? I'm definately small-tracked as I only have Two Sided Thing, I have No Choice, Itty Bitty Heart... any others? Edited February 13, 2007 by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
pikeys dog Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Love Hides All Faults is a cracker. Maybe her vocals were a bit too gritty for the mainstream?

Simsy Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Is it just 'I have no choice' that her name is misspelled?
Guest Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Is it just 'I have no choice' that her name is misspelled? No, it could be my crapness?

Steve Brown Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Have to agree about Here Comes My Baby, how underated is that? Steve.
Guest melandthensome Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 'I dont want your loving' on Reel records with Timmy Shaw is a nice one

BrianB Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 What a brilliant write up. So well researched. The 20 Grand Club article is tremendous.
Paul McKay Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 All respect, I'm not overly excited by that Sounds good over a big system Karen, I'll bring a few Johnnie's along for Saturday night!
Jerry Hipkiss Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 All respect, I'm not overly excited by that Nooooo...."Lonely you'll be" is a cracker - sure i saw you on the floor to it when I played it at Exeter!
Guest in town Mikey Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Love Hides All Faults is a cracker. Maybe her vocals were a bit too gritty for the mainstream? I have no choice, is my fave, but for sheer quality at a 'working mans price'. There can be few rivals to 'Love hides all faults'. Quality.
Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Nooooo...."Lonely you'll be" is a cracker - sure i saw you on the floor to it when I played it at Exeter! I probably did Volume does make a big difference to me in the 'hearing' of a song that's for sure
Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Sounds good over a big system Karen, I'll bring a few Johnnie's along for Saturday night! I look forward to it
