can we give some love to the ladies of the 60's/70's that aren't receiving any hipster kisses?

Not thee kind of thing we usually consider on here, but a friend recently sent me a link to The Poppy Family feat. Susan Jacks---yep, "Which Way You Goin', Billy?": "Ode To Billy Joe" it def. ain't, but her sound got me curious.
She (b. Susan Pesklevits) was a late-teen regular on a Canadian music show, where she met Terry Jacks, whom she later married, and they formed The Poppy Family, then started their own solo careers, his kicking off with "Goodbye Pa-pa it's hard to die," aaaghh, "Seasons in the Sun." They broke up, she continued solo in Canada mainly, died a few months ago--fervent following, tons of stuff on YouTube!

I remain not crazy about some of the material, but really nice voice x vibe, sunlight-shadow

I was able to get the studio to transfer the original tapes and am re-releasing this as a vinyl record with a "B" side of unreleased material. I'm hoping to get it finished in the next couple months-- life has been confusing and got in the way for a while. I appreciate the patience of those who have asked me for a copy.

i like rita a lot. i like her sister too. her sister made three(?) albums with Booker T. in the 70s but i like this one best. after she was married to Booker T. she was murdered in a murder/suicide by her 2nd husband.

there is a nice long "hummingbird" on that album. i love that song.

scott seward, Thursday, 4 April 2024 12:30 (one month ago) link

the reissues of Gypsy Queen have been Japan-only naturally thus hard to find. though the album on vinyl isn't hard to find.

that's a nice one. although, it should be mentioned, her second album is supreme hipster bait.

i love linda lewis. some would say she's the poor man's minnie riperton but i wouldn't say that!

scott seward, Thursday, 4 April 2024 12:50 (one month ago) link

nancy priddy definitely gets the kisses from people she would never kiss. who live in brooklyn.

scott seward, Thursday, 4 April 2024 12:50 (one month ago) link

and why can't THIS hipster ever find a reasonably-priced copy of nancy's album?

scott seward, Thursday, 4 April 2024 12:51 (one month ago) link

I will dare:

scott seward, Thursday, 4 April 2024 12:55 (one month ago) link

reissued by sunbeam once but still inexplicably a ten dollar and under record that rules really hard.
