ANN PEEBLES - SOMEBODY'S ON YOUR CASE

Ann Peebles is best known for her biggest hit - 1973's amazing 'I Can't Stand The Rain', but her raw, soulful vocals grace PLENTY of other red hot 45's and LP's. 'Somebody's On Your Case' is pure southern soul- smoky, sexy and hotter than a pan of boiling grits.

Like so many other soul singers, St Louis-born and raised Ann began singing in church at a young age, where her father was a minister. While in her early 20's, Ann was touring with bandleader Oliver Sain, where she caught the attention of Hi Records recording artist/ talent scout Gene 'Bowlegs' Miller, who helped her sign with the label, all before she turned 21 in 1968. Ann also proved to be a prolific songwriter, often collaborating with Don Bryant, who she married in 1974.

from 1972...
