File under one of those great Los Angeles records that sounds as if it could easily have been cut in Detroit. It just has *that* sound. I love how Mary Love wails on the verses then backs off for such a sweet voice on the chorus (following the lyrics).
Mary Love, still active in the gospel bag, is a Sacramento, California native who began recording in the mid-60's in Los Angeles. She released a handful of records through the 70's which included a few songs used in Rudy Ray Moore movies.
from 1965...
MARY LOVE - YOU TURNED MY BITTER INTO SWEET
This is just a great song. It's been growing on me more and more. Sadly, I looked up Mary Love and found out she just passed away a couple of weeks ago. :( RIP Mary.
