Customer Reviews

Excellent retrospective of almost forgotten singer
Barbara was a less dramatic singer than label mate Aretha Franklin, but she was a top quality soul singer with a wonderful, clear, soprano voice. She had three big American hits, these being Hello stranger, Baby I’m yours and Make me your baby. Although Hello stranger was the biggest hit, Baby I’m yours has spawned more cover versions and is probably the most familiar song.

Someday we’re gonna love again failed to chart, but the Searchers covered it and had a British hit with it. Another chart failure, Don’t forget about me, was covered by Dusty Springfield who had a minor American hit with it. The Shirelles influenced Barbara strongly, even to the extent that My mama told me (the second track here) owes a lot to the Shirelles song Mama said.

Barbara Lewis is one of many singers who have largely been forgotten. This collection proves that she had the talent to be a major star. If you enjoy sixties soul music and you want to look beyond the famous names, this is for you.
