This is one of those records that hypnotizes from the opening bars; an absolutely perfect soul record, driven by the stomping beat, spiced with brilliant horns, and rocketed into outer space by the incredible vocal performance.
Louise Murray started out in a female doo wop group called The Hearts in 50's New York City; eventually, members of the Hearts ended up as The Jaynetts for the mythical "Sally Go Round The Roses" session in 1963. The Jaynetts name itself had been used with different lineups (including Baby Washington) since the '50's as well.
Legend has it that producer Abner Spector holed up in the studio for days to cut "Sally", and there were as many as 20 voices heard on the final cut, one of which belonged to Louise Murray!
Louise Murray still performs (with her husband) as a duet (referencing her old group) The Two Hearts.
from 1965...
