Barbara Jean English:

Dajae, as featured on this Cajmere floor filler:

Joi Cardwell:

Gwen Guthrie, how could I forget "Save your love" is another top tune of many she did. Also turns up on various writing credits including Ben E King's "Supernatural thing" Still catching up, meanwhile - Dee Dee Bridgewater, produced by Thom Bell:

That Bobby Caldwell tune has Lou Rawls written all over it - definitely deserves more dancefloor action

Is this B or A? Vanessa Bell Armstrong:

And this is just out of this world - Shirley Bassey:

How could me miss Sheree Brown? Terrific version of a Leon Ware/Minnie Riperton classic:

And now for some more catching up, with a few Bs starting with the amazing Sharon Bryant on this Atlantic Starr classic:

Another G of more recent vintage - Vivian Green:

Altrinna Grayson with Bobby Womack:

Already on the Gs - good grief! Well, howsabout Susaye Greene of Scherrie and Susaye on this spinechiller:

We've had First Choice, but not Rochelle Fleming:

A Richard Searling favourite from 1988 by Sarah Dash:

Also from 1982, Cheri:

More often a background vocalist but she stepped forward for this on Ramsey Lewis's 1982 live LP - Alice Echols (with Morris Gray):

And still catching up with Motown-era Kiki Dee:

And then there's Erma:

The label reminds me of Hai Karate aftershave ... but of course the music is of different quality Since we're on the Fs and we've already had Aretha, what about Carolyn:

I remember Robbie Vincent at the time getting behind "You can't go home no more", but I've never heard it played out. Maybe that it was on Blue Note meant that it didn't get picked up so much in soul circles. Lou's remake of "Family reunion" would sound great played out, all classic Philly strings and things, really unusual quality for 1987.

And going again with Motown, Yvonne Fair:

Brenda Lee Eager:

Sara Devine:

While we're on the Roy Ayers tip, how about some Merry Clayton:
