HOLLY MAXWELL - HAPPINESS WILL COST YOU ONE THIN DIME


While Holly Maxwell sang in groups starting in junior high school, this was her debut record, at age 20, that began a career that continues to this day (she entertains in clubs, mostly in Europe).

Part of the glorious Chicago soul scene, Holly went on to work with such legends as Curtis Mayfield and Barbara Acklin (who worked as her manager), and also as a fill in for Tina in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue(!)

This record has that fantastic Chicago-meets-Motown swaying groove.

from 1965...
