I have been meaning to check out some of her work. <BR/><BR/>Two of Rhino's other box sets that I own have cool packaging too: the 60s soul box set "Beg, Scream, and Shout" is designed like a 45 case and the 70s soul set "Can You Dig It" is made to look like an 8-track holder.<BR/><BR/>If you do start a blog, I hope it's a music one because you seem to know your stuff. I hope that you stop by and comment again soon.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-67247156010399587542008-06-01T11:18:00.000-04:002008-06-01T11:18:00.000-04:00Well...It's always good to hear knew songs.The Gon...Well...It's always good to hear knew songs.<BR/>The Gonna Take a Miracle album is more of a Laura Nyro than a LaBelle work, although the ladies in LaBelle sing a lot of the harmonies on those songs.<BR/><BR/>About Rhino, there attention to detail, is something I'mbeing made aware of. They seem to have some reallygood boxed sets, with unique packaging and designs.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a blog. I'm just figuring how some of these work. I don't know how to set up a web page quite yet, and I think several require one. I'm using my google account. I'll figure it out, but it might be harder since I'm totally blind. Who knows.

Regarding the song selections, I thought it would be cool to provide links to tunes that are lesser known. <BR/><BR/>Although I'm familiar with Labelle's album "Gonna Take A Miracle", I haven't heard any tracks from it. I have been meaning to check out some of their albums, but haven't for one reason or another.<BR/><BR/>I use every opportunity I have to rave about "One Kiss Lead To Another". Rhino never ceases to amaze me with their attention to detail and song selection. <BR/><BR/>I tried clicking on your link to visit your blog, but found that the profile is unavailable. Assuming you have a blog, please send me the link because I would love to check it out.

I have heard of most of these artists, but I'm not familiar with the songs you spotlighted. Looks like I've got some researching to do. Some of these artists E.G.LaBelle and Eva Cassidy are ones that I've been meaning to listen to more. The LaBelle work I'm mainly familiar with is on the Laura Nyro album Gonna Take a Miracle. It's a cover album of 50's and 60's pop songs, mainly of the Motown and Doo Whop variety.<BR/><BR/>Stefanie<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'll bet you could do several lists such as this based on the One Kiss Can Lead to Another Boxed set alone. That's a cool boxed set!Stefanie Magurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946706226209112955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-30887309254525076642008-05-31T21:37:00.000-04:002008-05-31T21:37:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stefanie Magurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946706226209112955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-82552685715884987212008-03-10T12:31:00.000-04:002008-03-10T12:31:00.000-04:00Pamela: Thanks for stopping by.

The record company's refusal to let Timi be Timi is truly a shame. <BR/><BR/>I like what you said about the term "blue eyed soul". My feeling is that if you got soul, you got soul... I don't care what color you are and as Dinah Washington said, Timi had it. The term is just more proof that our society is way too hung up on race. <BR/><BR/>I will have to look into the "Live At PJs" album that you mentioned. Thanks for suggesting it and for stopping by to provide some of your Timi Yuro memories.<BR/><BR/>Harris: You are more than welcome!<BR/><BR/>Pop Art Diva: Thanks for the award. I went to your site last night, but didn't have time to delve into the rules and such. I will check it out again later this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Brownstone: Welcome to the Thursday Thirteen. Thanks for your kind words! This was a T13 that took some time. However, I loved every minute of it!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I like your username, it reminds me of Herman's Hermits. <BR/><BR/>Mistress of the D: Does he also play "Fish Ain't Bitin" by Lamont Dozier? lol<BR/><BR/>According to Wikipedia, Poe had/has started work on a 3rd album. It goes on to say that details are sketchy and several years have passed since the first announcement of a 3rd album. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>I can understand how the amount of covers Eva did could cause you to be sour on her. I give her a free pass on that because the covers she chooses aren't always the obvious ones. I also like how she will change the arrangements and make the song her own. <BR/><BR/>Chanpeng: Thanks for swinging by. I will definitely be by to check out your T13 on women. As did you, I also loved the research it took for me to put together this TT.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-52753484304088446472008-03-07T12:46:00.000-05:002008-03-07T12:46:00.000-05:00X. Dell: I came close to including Wanda Jackson o...X. Dell: I came close to including Wanda Jackson on this list. Since there are numerous women who fit the bill, I will likely revisit this subject for a future T13.<BR/><BR/>I included women like Labelle, Sylvia, and the Marvelettes because although I don't feel they are unknown, I do consider them to be unsung: not getting the praise or claim I feel they deserve. <BR/><BR/>Excellent point about Darlene Love. What you said about the passage of time is the very reason that I included her and LaVern Baker. Darlene is one of those artists that I think people know, but don't realize they know. I think that many who have heard "He's A Rebel" by The Crystals don't realize that it's Darlene on lead vocals.<BR/><BR/>I would have been shocked to hear Millie in the overhead at the supermarket. I think that many businesses use some type of satellite radio service because when I am at restaurants or grocery stores, I hear songs that rarely get airplay on FM/AM radio.<BR/><BR/>Someone might read your comments about Aretha and wonder what you are talking about. However, your mentioning of Aretha's skills that often get overlooked are on the money.<BR/><BR/>As for me providing the links, you are quite welcome. If you are into girl groups of the 1960s, the boxed set that I mentioned twice in this post is well worth the money. It's put out by Rhino (who never cease to amaze me with their attention to detail and creative ways of packaging). <BR/><BR/>Cindy: Thank you for stopping by. I wish that Eva could have lived to see how her music has touched so many people. However, it's possible that had she lived, she would still be toiling in obscurity. <BR/><BR/>Mo: Thank for returning the favor and visiting my T13. As for you not knowing these artists, I always say that there is so much music out there that it's hard to keep up.<BR/><BR/>Lisa: Thank you. I hope that this list leads you to some cool musical discoveries. <BR/><BR/>Michael: Thank you very much! While I was compiling this list, I thought about the Donnas. If I had any of their stuff, they might have made the cut. As I mentioned to X. Dell earlier, this subject is one that I am likely to revisit. As I was compiling this T13, I was thinking of other possible women to include like Tracey Thorn, Tanya Donnelly, and Dolores O'Riordan. I eventually had to stop thinking about possible inclusions because I would have wound up with a T30 otherwise, lol.<BR/><BR/>Karla: Thanks for pointing out the eclecticism of this list. In addition to the fact that I love music from a variety of genres, I did it this way so that practically anyone could read it and be able to identify with at least one artist.<BR/><BR/>Holly: My girlfriend said that she wasn't familiar with Eva Cassidy. Maybe I will pull some out for us to listen to on Sunday morning. <BR/><BR/>Holly (aka Mama PJ): I was sure you had heard of Labelle and their song Lady Marmalade. <BR/><BR/>"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"<BR/><BR/>You had lost some pop culture points, but you earned them back by knowing Poe, lol.<BR/><BR/>Chris: Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>Joanne: I have Poe's 2nd album (Haunted) too, but don't listen to it as much as "Hello". I need to give it another spin.<BR/><BR/>Gray Matters: Thanks for commenting. Please see my reply to Joanne.<BR/><BR/>Xakara: I'm glad I could help you expand your "Girl Power" playlist. As for allowing Open ID w/o letting anon people comment, I will have to look to see if that's possible for Blogger.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-56576158876275170042008-03-07T07:41:00.000-05:002008-03-07T07:41:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting this list.

When she started making records in the '60s, the record business didn't know what to do with her -- she was addicted to soul music and they wanted to make a pop star out of her.<BR/><BR/>The one thing that she <I>didn't</I> want to be called was "blue-eyed soul." It was an insult to her since she spent a lot of time learning her craft in black Baptist churches and traveling the chitlin' circuit with the likes of <B>Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Supremes</B>, etc. She didn't want to be lumped with white artists who thought because they had <I>listened to</I> some soul music and executed melismas while singing, they were "soul singers." Timi knew there was so much more to it than that!<BR/><BR/>If you listen to her "Live @ P.J.'s" her speaking voice sounds more like <B>Mavis Staples</B> than MAVIS STAPLES! <B>Frank Sinatra</B> took her on tour with him to Australia in the 60s and then she stopped singing to get married and have a baby.<BR/><BR/>When she returned to Europe, her fans were waiting in droves. She packed all of the major concert halls, came back to the USA and tried to make the records SHE wanted to make. After recording with <B>Willie Nelson</B>, she discovered she had throat cancer. A big blow.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, her idol was "The Queen of the Blues," <B>Dinah Washington</B> who said after hearing Timi, "that girl has soul, honey."nneprevilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133378922239938988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-74451707965611820662008-03-06T19:53:00.000-05:002008-03-06T19:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for this one Malcolm, I'm always adding to ...Thanks for this one Malcolm, I'm always adding to my "Girl Power" list of women in music.
