THE GEMS - CAN'T YOU TAKE A HINT

While the other side ("I Can't Help Myself") was the plugged a-side, to this listener, the b-side is where it's at.

The Gems were formed while the girls were still in high school, and they were originally known as The Lovettes. By the time of this release, Minnie Ripperton was one of the vocalists (and it sure sounds like her taking the lead here, in a similar style as her pseudonymous release "You Gave Me Soul" as Andrea Davis, released a few years after this one).

from 1964...
