Forgotten One-Shot Divas

[sammyperez]

As far as Brandi Wells - Watch Out, you can listen to that song on my mix which is featured on this weeks Dance Groove Radio Show. In this mix I also feature a couple more for your list:



Linda Taylor - You and me just started

Vicky 'D' - This beat is mine



Also would like to mention:



Karen Young - Hot shot

Barbara Harris - I found a new man

Sylvia - Pillow Talk



to name a few off the top of my head.



Check out the show,



Sam "ALL JAM"

[Boodikka]

Karen Young.....dead

Sylvia.....went on to form Sugar Hill records

[NickNack]

Margo Thunder - "Don't You Have Any Love In Your Heart". Also did an lp as part of the group 9.9

[Robbie]

Scherrye Payne was a member of the Supremes in the mid-70's, I believe. Around the time they recorded "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking" (1976).



How about these??



Roberta Kelly: "Love Power", 1976. Produced by Giorgio Moroder/Pete Bellotte. Labelmate of Donna Summer on Oasis, also recorded in Munich.



Margaret Singana: "Where Is The Love", 1976.

Originally recorded by Betty Wright in 1975, this song was written by Wright as well as Finch/Casey, who were the nucleus of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Another Casablanca artist.



Jeannie Reynolds: "The Fruit Song", 1976.

Slow disco; is this really a disco song to begin with?? Appeared on Casablanca's 1976 LP "Get Down And Boogie", and was also a Casablanca artist.



Amazing how Casablanca had a wide variety of artists who never saw the light of day practically in the midst of a Donna Summer, Kiss, Village People, Parliament, and Alec Constnadinos.

Yeah, I realize Scherrie Payne was a latter-day Supreme and was also one of the replacement Supremes Miss Ross rounded-up for her ill-advised Return To Love Tour.



Some more names come to mind that had a BIG song and never did much thereafter:



BARBARA LAW - "Take All Of Me"

SUZI LANE - "Harmony/Ooh La La"

LORRAINE JOHNSON - "Feed The Flame/I'm Learning To Dance All Over Again"

ULLANDA McCULLOUGH - "Want Ads"

RUTH WATERS - "Never Gonna Be The Same"

NORMA JEAN (WRIGHT) - "High Society/Saturday"

PENNY McLEAN - "Lady Bump"

TAMIKO JONES - "Can't Live Without Your Love/Let It Flow"

ALMA FAYE - "It's Over Now"

CYNTHIA MANLEY - "Back In My Arms Again" /Boystown Gang: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough/Remember Me"

RORY BLOCK - "You're The One"



Also, since I'm not at home, I can't remember the titles of the Rozalin Woods & Ren Woods club hits. Anyone?

Sylvia also made "Automatic Lover" as her first, uptempo disco song. If anyone remember that song, holler back. Vicki "D" on Sam Records, This beat is mine was such a great song. Linda Taylor - You and me just started was an import single before Prelude Records signed her. Karen Young - Hot Shot was her #1 hit, unfortunate that others didn't follow her {RIP}. Barbara Harris - In September of 1965 a record was released on the DynaVoice label that was to become an international, all-time classic. "A LOVERS CONCERTO" by "THE TOYS" entered the charts and in just ten short weeks surpassed luminaries the likes of "THE BEATLES, THE SUPREMES, ELVIS PRESLEY, THE ROLLING STONES, THE FOUR TOPS, STEVIE WONDER" etc.. The song reached NUMBER ONE and stayed there for six weeks, becoming a million seller. The voice singing lead, was that of Ms. Barbara Harris.

Lorraine Johnson did background work on Saturday Night Band's project {Boogie with Me} and Alma Faye had a hit "Don't Fall In Love" on the other side of the 12" Single "It's Over."

Penny McLean: She released 3 Albums...

1)LADY BUMP(1975)

2)PENNY(1977)

3)MIDNIGHT EXPLOSION

By the way she sang with Silver Convention.

Nowadays she´s on the esoterical trip and

writes books about Guardian Angels. She is

very succesful in the esoteric scene in

Europe.



ROBERTA KELLY released also several Albums

1)TROUBLE MAKER(1976)

2)ZODIACS(1977)

3)GETTIN´THE SPIRIT(1978)

Then in 80ies she released an Album in Italo

Disco-Style, but not very succesful.

But I wouldn´t say that both are One-Shot-

Divas.

What about JEREE PALMER, BONNIE OLIVER, EMILY

WOODS, ROZALIN WOODS, CYNTHIA WOODARD ?

Cosmic Love & Kisses From SIRIUS & DARKTUNES

My fellow Brooklynite The Lord Of Flatbush is good with the trivia; the Goddess salutes you.

Here's a bit more: Sylvia, of "Pillow Talk" fame and founder of Sugar Hill Records ("It's Good To Be The Queen") is the same Sylvia from Mickey and Sylvia of "Love Is Strange" fame.
