She stated with the SKA band Tijuana No! when she lived in that city. Her awards include 8 Latin Grammys, 7MTV, 7 Broadcast Music and more than 100 others. She is one incredibly creative person! She has a twin sister, which is why I thought I was seeing double here!

GLORIA JONES - IF I WERE YOUR WOMAN

This was a big hit for Gladys Knight and the Pips but here it is sung by the Co writer who brought this out first, Gloria Jones, who was also first out with Tainted Love. Very classy production I think.

Blinky - For Your Precious Love

Blinky Williams Had a great Soul sound. I don't understand why she was relegated to the Motown Vaults.

Linda Martell ~ Bad Case of the Blues (Hee Haw, 1970)

Great Country voice at Country's summit point!

I Can't Stand the Rain - Ann Peebles | The Midnight Special

Ann is one of a small number ( fingers of one hand) of singers I can put on repeat all day! To find a live performance like this is a treasure.
