Cool tune...



...And she was a cutie too.

She cut Working On A Groovy Thing prior to the Fifth Dimension's version.



When I saw the song title I initially thought of...



...Tell Him by The Exciters (weird video)

She along with Bettye Swann, Mabel John, Betty Everett, Barbara Lynn, Barbara Lewis and Esther Phillips are among the BADDEST 60s soul bitches who never got their share of recognition.

Here in the Bay Area,every oldies' fan knows about these CDs lol It's a 12-volume set of R&B oldies,mostly from the 60s and early 70s.Many of these songs are extremely rare and hard to find and you can tell that,on certain songs,they used old vinyl records when they recorded these compilations.That's what makes these CDs so much fun.It's like listening to a bunch of old 45s.
