Gloria Lynne

[ghost of miles]

I was at a Borders the other day, listening to some audio samples of Gloria Lynne (the Collectables re-issue AT THE BASIN STREET EAST/AT THE LAS VEGAS THUNDERBIRD). She seems to fall into that jazz/soul/pop genre that I associate with singers such as Dakota Staton & Nancy Wilson--a genre that I happen to enjoy. Anyway, I'm thinking of picking this one up, and wondered if there were any Lynne fans around these parts.

Yeah...Gloria. I have a few things on lp from the early 60s but nothing recent. BUT NOT FOR ME was her big splash as far as I remember and it was a pretty tasty record...She had a vocal version of King Curtis' SOUL SERENADE that got some play around 1964 or 1965 that I have on "45" and listened to and enjoyed very recently.

Tasty soulful chanteuse. Thanks for bringing her up - it reminds to dig these records out and give them a well deserved listen.
