Sad that she died relatively young
What a voice!

More Linda Ronstadt, could sing live with no auto-tune or any other digital musical enhansements , justt a microphone.

I've been listening to Barbara Lewis, another girl singer from the sixties.

Here's an example of another young singer from that era who could sing anything.

I like her interpretation of a classic.

She made a huge number of recordings, few charted.


But there's some gems. this one has had only 77 hits on YouTube.

Trawling throught he songs of Harold Greenfield, 1936-1986.
He wrote or co-wrote (many with Neil Sedaka) an unbelievable number of songs.

This one always amuses me.

Recorded by "The Shirelles" it made No 3 in the USA in 1962.

It was also recorded by "The Cookies" who never had much success as an individual group, but worked extensively as back-up singers.

I much prefer their version that I find less brash and more musical as their voices were better.

Prefer this version

Ann Peebles.

Durand Jones & The Indications aren't a 60s group, they just sing in that style. Recordings from 2019.

Best so far

I tried to order "Cruising to the Park." from Colemine Records. It's on a regular 45rpm record,
but it's out of stock at the moment.

This one.

They're gonna let me know when it's back in stock.

$7.99 plus the postage, which seems reasonable.

It's destined for my MoTown and R&B jukebox
