This should blow the cobwebs out!

A Gospel Soul stomper with a lead vocalist that went on to record a Northern classic and then, some years later have a world wide smash.

But who is she?

Too hard for you all eh?

Clara Ward,guess

Not a bad guess Kenny, but it's not someone that you would immediately associate with Gospel. Well done for having a go though

I can see the logic in your answer but, sorry - wrong.

Her hit was more of a disco era tune. Although it was played at Wigan!

Godz

Gloria Gayner(think that how its spelt)

Gloria Gayner(think that how its spelt)

Nope. This person's Northern spin (as opposed to the later disco one) is full on 60's stuff. And it's on the same label as the gospel outfit she's with on the MP3.

Godz

Candi Staton?

Candi Staton?

oooooooooohhhh - Nope

Did Candi record with a Gospel outfit? Good call though

Judy Freeman

Judy Freeman

And Judy Freeman's international smash hit was?

Sorry asbo, better luck next time.

Godz

Laura Lee ?

Not sure about the int. bit though.....

Diane Jenkins Lars

Or It Could Be Jo Armetage

Or Even Waynona Carr

Laura Lee ?

Bigger in the disco era than Laura Lee, Lars.

The disco hit was a cover and was covered later by a UK outfit - who also had a hit with it.

Nobody has expressed an opinion on the song yet. Anyone else like it - in a shouty gospel, poundy organ kinda way?

Don't think any of the above had a disco hit mate

Next clue - she had an album produced by Jimmy Webb...

Some great guesses here. Not right as yet though.

Your gonna kick yourself for saying Gloria Jones though - and you'll see why when you find out...

Godz

My last chance saloon...........

Madeline Bell

Thelma Houston would be my guess .................

Correctamundo!

It's The Art Reynolds Singers - I've Made Up My Mind on Capitol.

Well done that man

Godz

Edited June 4, 200619 yr by rachel

.......and the album of course would be "Sunshower"

Always been one of my faves - her "I just wanna be me" on Stateside knocks me down everytime I listen to it. Fabulous track which was released on 45 but not on the album.

.......full of useless information

Take care

Finally got round to listening to this track - brilliant, thanks for that Godz

Also reminded me to dig out the Sunshower LP... great tunes for a summer evening
