Another good compilation of the Atlantic
group
of female recording artists from the 60's. This is the first CD in the
series and it features Ann Mason with Little Mac, great organ
alternative " You Can't Love Me (In The Midnight Hour)".
Great tracks from Doris Troy, the original of "Whatcha Gonna
Do About It" from 1963, made into a UK hit by the Small Faces in 1965
(sorry David not the Hollies!). Mary Wells "Dear Lover" issued
on Atco. "Ain't No Way" originally a B side builds to a classic
soul tune from Aretha Franklin with a fine session band and backing
singers, and who could forget the
Sweet Inspirations "Let
It Be Me". Well put together booklet and sleeve notes by David Nathan,
available on Kent CDKEND 186.
