On Hot Wax she recorded: “Wanted: Lover, No Experience Necessary” “A Man with Some Backbone” “Women’s Love Rights”.
Her version of “Uptight Good Man” (Penn-Oldham writers) was very popular in Manchester.
To Win Your Heart
This is the vocal made at Golden World – Ric – Tic with both JJ Barnes and Edwin Starr on backing vocals and many Motown musicians too: the instrumental version is called Festival Time from the San Remo Strings . This gets to 190 on Kev Roberts Top 500.
In 1979 she moved labels and released the great YOUR SONG.
