    Any Quiet Elegance fans out there?

    Always enjoyed this group. When Martha and the Vandellas broke up, Lois Reeves joined Quiet Elegance. Nice sound.

    Millie Scott had a few solo recordings and sang with Aretha. Quiet Elegance once toured with Al Green.

    A wonderful group who deserved a whole lot more attention than they received. I always believed that they should've been a much bigger group than they were. My favorite is 'Have You Been Making Out Ok?', a very nice spin on Al's classic.

    Sadly overlooked

    Very good group, little recognised but you can get a CD / MP3 download with all their Hi Records output from Amazon etc.

    Favourite track is Do You Love Me, a remake of the Rayons original directed by Wille Mitchell, which you can hear at this URL

    I think I once read they were managed by Otis and Melvin of The Temptations.

    I love them. And Bettye said she saw them years ago and that they were the best female group that she had ever seen.
    Frankie has a great voice.

    Has anyone ever heard Lois' voice solo? Is she an alto or soprano?
