Guest Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi there, I've been treating myself to a Volume a month of (The !!!! Beat and am up to number 3 which features this female blues shouter (well she's loud and she's bluesy). I've only come across one single by her so far; "Big City Lights" which features on the show. Does anyone know anything else about her and what other releases she made? Thanks Perry Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) "Big City Lights" on STA-SET is one of my all-time favourite ballads. So gritty it hurts. She seems to have been mainly active in the gospel field and I've read that some cassettes or LPs from as late as the 80s shall be in existence. Haven't seen or heard one of those myself. These are in any case small label or local church gospel releases. The only other 45 with her that I've been able to locate is one released as Cleo Jackson Randle on CHECKER, "Life In Heaven Is Free" b/w "No One Cares For Me Like Jesus". "Life In..." is magnificent! Here's an unplayed copy of that Checker 45 for $8.99: https://cgi.ebay.com/CLEO-JACKSON-RANDLE-no...6QQcmdZViewItem Edited August 7, 2005 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Emjaygee Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The flipside of "Big City Lights" is a fairly decent Northern Mover called "you Got Everything", i played it out a couple of times back in the day, I'm sure it got a few other plays from other DJ's too.

That's a very decent price. Buy it. I'm even tempted to buy one myself... and I've already got one. "Pretty" good... you're having a laugh! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Not that I ever stopped to really think about it but I thought Cleo Randle was a man Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

(Christian, you really have to borrow those DVDs from me, some brilliant stuff on them!) Edited August 8, 2005 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
