How about the lovely Lynden David Hall?

Oh yeah, great voice, not heard a lot of her stuff but like what I have heard :rolleyes:

carlean anderson fantastic voice, well worth checking out.

Lovely, gorgeous springs to mind :thumbsup: and talented of course, I particularly like Do I Qualify :rolleyes:

Have decided (in general) we are not worthy.

Case to point - Ebony Alleyne. Whole Lp recorded & in the bag.

Nobody now interested in releasing it.

Col.

ps In Love With A Stranger is my wifes fave record.

Actually, thats a bit worrying.

carlean anderson fantastic voice, well worth checking out.

C'mon Rog who's her old man?

I think she is uk based,she released a lot of stuff late 80's/early 90's

Short clip below.

I think that this is on Alice's solo LP as well the Quantic album "Apricot Morning"

For the more adventurous Quantic is well worh checking out. His albums are a mix of soul, funk, latin, Jazz, dub and downtempo electronica. As well as Alice Russel he also uses the incredible Spanky Wilson as a guest vocalist (but she's American so not counted in this topic :rolleyes: )

More info on Alice here:

https://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/?page=record...ease.html&id=95

You really need to see her live though. Last time I saw her with Quantic Soul Orchestra she had an audience that ranged in age from about 15 to 60 in the palm of her hand. Joss Stone doesn't hold a candle.

Paul Young, you are going back a long time he must be at least 50 years old :thumbsup:
