THE SWEETS - SOMETHING ABOUT MY BABY (SOULTOWN)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2024
- THE SWEETS recorded on the Los Angeles Soultown label. The singers were first thought to be linked with the same girl group that recorded for the Valiant label in 1965...a trio that included Felice Taylor and her sisters Norma and Darlene.
However "... Something About My Baby is sung by Jolynn Ballard. Satisfy me Baby is sung by Ruthie and Reola Caddell sings background on both, in Los Angeles 1965. We were The Sweets."
Reola Caddell (2017).
The Soultown label was run by aspiring LA. producer and impresario Bobby Sanders, influenced by Berry Gordy's success with Motown.
The Sweets flip, 'Satisfy Me Baby', was a popular uptempo dancer on the Northern soul scene in the mid 1970's. Consequently it gained a reissued pressing on a simpler designed label.
Other artists who have recorded on the same label include; Tempos, Delicates, Little Helen, Ray Agee, Travis McKinley, McKinley Twins and New Young Hearts. Also, actor Burt Ward --'Robin' in the 60's Batman series.
Bobby Sanders also recorded 'The Way I Feel' on the Pick-A-Hit (100) record label.

I have been playing this track over and over for the past few days . . . and can't understand why we didn't hear more about this Northern Soul movement here in Oz! I'm almost 57 - and started seriously listening to the radio about '67. Anyway - this is EXCELLENT work!!
Don't know where I've been, but this is new to me.....Needless to say, I'm completely blown away!!!!!
