DEBBIE TAYLOR - CHECK YOURSELF


Cutting a mysterious figure (no known sightings since her last release in 1975), Debbie Taylor was allegedly discovered singing in church by a Decca records scout.

This song has some of the most amazing vocals I've ever heard on a female soul track; her phrasing is very much in the style of Billie Holiday which is just dripping with raw emotion. Quite a record, and it was written by the Stax double dynamite team of Isaac Hayes/ David Porter!

from 1968...
