Additionally, she "rocks the house" with reckless abandon - playing wild and "heavenly" guitar licks in her own style - which I'm sure sobered many a male guitarist back in the day. The expression "All In" comes to mind when I hear her soaring voice "singing and shouting" over a piano, drums, and choir, and I feel myself "lifted up" in a glorious, all enveloping, sonic cloud - Praise be to God - Sister Rosetta is standing in the "AMEN" section!

When I was a kid growing up in the UK, all I knew about Big Dee Irwin was he was the guy who sang the novelty hit Swingin’ On A Star, but there was so much more to the man that that. Using a variety of names, like Dee Irvin and Difosco, as well as Big Dee, he was a superb singer, writer and producer, and an artist I think who has been undeservedly overlooked in the world of reissues and compilations.
And so I present to soul fans and the curious alike, the unreleased “box set” – From Doo Wop To Disco – The Big Dee Irwin Story.
Disc 1 covers his time with doo-wop outfit The Pastels, and the early solo singles as he continually reinvented himself.
Disc 2 continues on the soul train with dancers and big ballads, and onwards into the world of disco.
Disc 3 features his duets with Little Eva, with the Dutch singer Suzie, who made her name in Sweden, and with the superb soul singer, Mamie Galore. To round out the set I’ve added a bunch of 45s from other artists, that Big Dee wrote or produced, and finished off with a trio of Christmas songs.
For the most part the audio is pretty good, with around a third of the tracks coming from the deleted CD, Another Night With Big Dee Irwin, which covered only part of his career.
So 84 tracks in all for your listening pleasure, with disc 3 split over two links. I’ve had a great time putting this set together, and I hope TZ’ers will enjoy the musical journey.
As always hats off to everyone who makes TZ what it is!

And for those of you who grabbed the Barbara & Brenda set the other day, here's a much better quality version of the track Sally's Party.

@ SoulTime59
I enjoyed your Big Dee and the Barbara & Brenda – here's three additions from YouTube
PASTELS – OH ME OH MY = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njCJESbyu74
Ignore the 1974 date that was the reissue on Owl – first issue was on a Hull LP 1002 (1962) – so a 1958 date: probably the same session as “So Far Away”
The next two are a Bliss single from 1961
SOMEDAY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJaCu3IWdCI
