Betty Green recorded in New York City, and her massive, soul dripping voice apparently only appears on two 45's!
Both sides of this record are extraordinary- the top side, "Lonely Girl" is an excellent uptempo r&b track with amazing vocals and a drop flat on the ground killer guitar break. The FLIP, however, is a deep soul jam that has a sublime 3AM feel and is somewhat similar to Bobby Bland's "I'll Take Care Of You" but remains wholly unique.
Amazing stuff.
from 1964...
