Many may know the late Sharon Redd's releases on Prelude Records from the early 1980s, but she had been around much earlier during the 1970s with Bette Midler's Harlettes.
Does Your Mama Know About Me is a cover of a Motown track by Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers. Maiden Voyage was co-written by Herbie Hancock. Finally, Now Sweet Lover Man along with Can't Dance (Dance, Dance, Dance) were issued on a white label promotional 12 inch single.

I'd kinda like to hear this record....the list of musicians and the songwriters looks interesting. But I don't recall seeing the record in any local store recently. Wonder if "Ula"'s last name has any connection you-know-what movie...
