1960s: Classy Ladies sing Blues & Soul

1960s: Classy Ladies sing Blues & Soul

Chart positions

This show was 1st in the global vinyl chart, 4th in the global easy listening chart, 10th in the global soul chart and 10th in the global chillout chart.

No matter what, these ladies really can sing! The picture shows FELICIA WEATHERS, who made a career as an opera singer in Germany. I couldn't resist playing her swinging version of NEVER ON A SUNDAY. A piece that impressively showcases her classically trained voice. (song starts at 47:13) ... Overall, I hope that I have made a special selection with this compilation. Enjoy these wonderful gems!

Not a fan of the ‘60s, but you have me reconsidering it. Just great production, musicianship and voices. Curious — is it me, or is the band backing up Denise LaSalle same as used on songs by Al Green & Ann Peebles???

The Soul Preacher

Thanks Jeff. Well, 1960s soul & jazz was my first musical love. Anything else followed. Good ears, the song by Denise LaSalle was arranged by Willie Mitchel for Westbound Records, so there might be a connection to Hi Records for which Mitchel worked in the first place. From my mind the session is from 1969 but I was wrong, it’s from 1972!

Absolute perfection, thank you

The Soul Preacher
