Hailing from Detroit, Gwen Owens was apparently still a teenager when this track was cut. Talk about precocious, with a seasoned voice like this!
She cut a few more records on her own (which sell for massive bucks, but IMO this one is the best), then went on to work as a session backup singer, lead a group in the 70's and today, she is "back home" teaching music and singing at her church (in Los Angeles). Great to read that she is still singing.
A MASSIVE record!
from 1967...
GWEN OWENS - I LOST A GOOD THING

You said out of all her songs, this the best one. The way horns and voices are going back and forth, I can't imagine her making a better record. It's pretty funky.

I can't believe I haven't heard this before...crazy, insanely good!! Wow! Instant favorite.
Wow, this is on ebay now for $2,100. How much did you pay for your copy?
Derik, that's actually another Gwen Owens record that's currently over $2000.
