Barbara Lynn is certainly no stranger to this blog!
Seems as though I have featured more of her singles on this blog than any other artist. No way for me to hide how much I love her.
I am very happy to say that after a long period of either being outbid on ebay for it (and also thinking GASP do I really want to pay THAT MUCH for this record????) I'm now the proud owner of this 45 that is said there are about 20 known copies of. It's NEVER been reissued or included on any comps (I'd like to fix that- if anyone who produces reissues is reading, please email me. I would love to see this get reissued somehow).
Of course, just because something is RARE doesn't mean I want to listen to it! This infectious record absolutely slays me!
This record was cut after Barbara Lynn moved to L.A and was comfortably settled into motherhood and only gigging locally, occasionally. There was a LONG period (about 5 years) where she didn't record anything, and there was a gap of another 4 years or so after this.
from 1979...

Good gracious, that's the •jam•!
A huge thanks for sharing! She is a real cracker. The wife and I saw here at the Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans in New Orleans last year and she's still got it. Thanks! W.
YEAH...the Ponderosa Stomp show was incredible. She played a two set gig in San Francisco last fall that was awe inspiring too! If you're going to the stomp this year, I'll be there as well.
best!
Thanx 4 sharing all your great music, especially this smooth track. I've downloaded several of your March track but I'm quite sure where to access the link for your previous months. Is there a hidden link somewhere? Anyway thanx 4 the great music!

Hi G MAN...I only keep the tracks up for a limited time. If there are any past records you want to hear, email me and I can send you the MP3. If you want to be sure to never miss anything, I offer a daily email subscription list. (dereksdaily45@gmail.com)
Just a couple of days ago, I was lucky enough to find another of Barbara Lynn's discs on the Trbie label. Good stuff.
