How did this precocious female pass by the hit-parade mill of the 60's? Every time I listen to her tracks I think, f*** me, what an awesome vocal! How could something so fantastic be so overlooked?

Is she still alive?

What's your favourite track?

I'm definately small-tracked as I only have Two Sided Thing, I have No Choice, Itty Bitty Heart... any others?

Love Hides All Faults is a cracker.

Maybe her vocals were a bit too gritty for the mainstream?

Is it just 'I have no choice' that her name is misspelled?

>Soulful Detroit - The Johnnie Mae Matthews Story<

Karen,

Go to www.soulfuldetroit.com and click on Johnnie Mae Mathews you'll find Graham Finch's great story of the life of the great lady. If you've only just discovered JMM you 're in for a real treat. She was singer /songwriter/producer /entrepreneur and among her claims to fa me are that she managed/produced the first records on the Temptations early line up as well as Edward Hamilton. Graham's piece is the dogs danglies. Think you 'll enjoy it .

You not coming then? What's your excuse? Don't tell me it's South of Watford LOL

No it's south of 'Ourgate'

Have a good one anyhow, & remember to be on your best behaviour !! You are a promotor now so no time for dancing & you better practice your knife throwing skills ready for other promotors backs !!

Have to agree about Here Comes My Baby, how underated is that?

Steve.

'I dont want your loving' on Reel records with Timmy Shaw is a nice one

Thank you for the link Dave.. I'll check it out

What a brilliant write up. So well researched.

The 20 Grand Club article is tremendous.

All respect, I'm not overly excited by that

Sounds good over a big system Karen, I'll bring a few Johnnie's along for Saturday night!

Nooooo...."Lonely you'll be" is a cracker - sure i saw you on the floor to it when I played it at Exeter!

Love Hides All Faults is a cracker.

I have no choice, is my fave, but for sheer quality at a 'working mans price'. There can be few rivals to 'Love hides all faults'. Quality.

Nooooo...."Lonely you'll be" is a cracker - sure i saw you on the floor to it when I played it at Exeter!

I probably did Volume does make a big difference to me in the 'hearing' of a song that's for sure

Sounds good over a big system Karen, I'll bring a few Johnnie's along for Saturday night!

I look forward to it
