big thanks to all posting ,some amazing records ,as someone said earlyer, think some are midtempo , not beat ballards but loving them all , as for the beat ballards , some known, lots not ,an amazing thread , need to start hunting again,keep posting all 

 

Thank you Vicky!! and yes some more midtempo than beat ballads, infact a couple I would personally say even more uptempo  :D but by the amount putting links, it's obvious we all love girl groups  :) x

The Sweethearts - What did I do? (what did I say) x also recorded as The Lovables & Barbara J & The Silver Slippers, members are: Barbara Sullivan, her sister Shirley and Kim Lewis. Shirley went on to marry Cuba Gooding Sr (singer from Main Ingredient) and their son is Cuba Gooding Jr (The actor) Just thought some of you might have liked that info? xx

Shelly.. It doesn't matter what decade it happens to be from class shines through..I adore Gloria Scott's a case of too much love making and Marcia Hines You gotta let go.

Hi Steve, thanks so much for the kind positves, I also like those 2 tunes you mention, have you heard the version by Paprika Soul? also Lorraine Silver did a version tho to be honest still not as good as Gloria's, still worth a listen as everyones taste is different. xx

Lillian Dupree and Esther Phillips are stunning records. . Remember buying a Esther Phillips on a roulette demo as a relatively unknown record about twenty years ago.

Hope you've hung on to Esther...I've only ever owned Detroit - Kim Western, had a stock copy on Rakkim (spelling???) out of all of these delectable cuts. Had a job narrowing it down...Roddie Joy...Linda Jones...Tammi....Gladys loads and loads.

Hi Pedro.unfortunately sold my collection a couple of years ago.

Guest Mrs M

Breaking Point by Dena Johnson aka Joshie Jo Arnstead on Wild Deuce for me along with I Really Love You - Dee Dee Sharp and more recently one incredible Deep Soul Ballad by Barbara Jean English - You're Gonna Need Somebody To Love You!!! Incredible track courtesy of the legendary George Kerr. Check it out...

I love tunes like Sweets - "something about my baby" or Big Maybelle's "it's raining."[/size

I'm sure people out there have tons of other great suggestions. I am looking to blow up my want list!

thanks!

We had to wait a while for The Sweet "Something etc" as the boot had instro as flip in favour which is what usually happened as instro's were also big in the 70's
