Barbara Lynn "Promises" (Jamie 1962-1965)

This is the companion disc to YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING. I feel it is not quite up to the high standard of YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING, but it is still excellent. Track #30 is an outtake version of You'll Lose A Good Thing......Barbara Lynn may not be as well known as Irma Thomas or Tammi Terrell, but you should add these discs to your collection if you like 60s R&B music.
Coming into prominence just before the popularity of Southern Soul, Barbara Lynn is usually considered an exponent of that musical genre. Her music is much more eclectic than that, however, and her heartfelt songs transcend all regional boundaries. As a singer, she helped move black music into a new maturity. As a songwriter, she created an extraordinary body of wonderful lyrics, and that perhaps, is her greatest achievement. (The Guardian)trax:
