Minnie Ripperton - Andrea Davis

Ronnie Spector - Veronica

Martha LaVelle - Martha Reeves (early solo apparently)

Did Baby Wahington ever record as Jeanette Washington as well as Justine.

Baby Washington had at least one release on the short-lived RCA subsidary Sixth Avenue in 1976 as JEANETTE BABY WASHINGTON! "Cup Runneth Over" (same song as Ronnie Dyson on Columbia)

DeDe Warwick 'Funny how we change places' same as DeDe Schwartz on RCA also came out on Musicor as Debra Anderson

That's right. Very peculiar, as she briefly adopted the name because schwartz means "black" in German! (See interview B&S 1976) However as far as I'm aware, the Debra Anderson version on Musicor is a totally different recording and artist.

at the start of his career , admiitted that he styled his voca phrasing after one of his heroes, Anthony Newley ....

Malc Burton

Now that you mention it, "Changes" DOES sound a bit like a cross between "Pop Goes The Weasel" and "Strawberry Fair" (Diddle-iddle-I-D-oooooo) !! laugh.gif
