Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)
The statuesque, tall Kim Weston with one of 41 tracks from her Motown collection which is a treasured possession of mine. Picture is on the cd.
Stay Awhile With Me-Sharon Ridley-1971
Very nice voice and Soul rhythm. Sharon Ridley hails from Washington DC and originally worked with Van MacCoy and has produced 4 albums.Several of her songs are self penned and she plays keyboard as well. Lately she has been touring Europe a lot, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Russia.
Shirley Jones - Do You Get Enough Love
This is Shirley solo with Philadelphia International Records. PIR.
You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else
The Jones Girls consisted of sisters Valerie,Shirley and Brenda Jones. They started out at G Records and had three successful albums. A highlight in their careers was being chosen by Diana Ross to be back up singers on her world tour. They were with Diana for three years. When this ended Diana helped them get their own act going.Shirley went solo after a fourth album flopped due to changing demands from fans and had a number 1 hit on the R&B charts.Sadly Valerie,who had had problems with alcohol abuse and depression, died in 2001 at the age of 45 and Brenda was killed while crossing a street when she visited her daughter in 2017 at the age of 65 . She had become homeless and lived in a shelter for some time before being moved to a residential hotel.RIP to them both.Shirley is still performing today in 2025. She had a high charting album with PIR and is doing well singing with two nieces.
Lola Falana ~ "Never, Never, Never"
Another side of Lola Falana, with a great Jazz classic which I normally associate with Dame Shirley Bassey.
Beverley Knight - After You - Live Paul O'Grady Show 150607
Beverley Knight with a small ensemble in front of a small but appreciative audience. Always love the way she uses her arms to accentuate what she sings!
