MARY JANE HOOPER - I'VE GOT REASONS


Yeah, yeah I know...I've been featuring a lot of tracks that have Eddie Bo involvement....But I've got reasons! :-) Almsot everything he laid his hands on is golden.

Starting out life as Sena Fletcher, Eddie renamed her Mary Jane Hooper. She was also a member of the Triple Souls, a female vocal trio that Eddie used for vocalizations (the Triple Souls also included Inez Cheatham, she of "A Lover And A Freind" fame).

This is a MAJOR, slamming piece of sister funk.

from 1968...

Derek,
Is there a way just to listen to these files without downloading them?
You rock.
Peace,
Stu
