A very interesting and detailed read. Thank you very much for posting. I shall return to this article.
Interesting article. Thank you for posting, Marv. I did notice it said Cindy was from Delaware? I thought she was from Trenton, NJ?
Sherrie Payne did not write One Night Only. Cindy was born in Mount Holly NJ and raised in Camden NJ. Cindy recorded High Inergy. I thought Susaye was only on one or two songs.
Just a little reminder of just how fine these ladies were........

I was born and raised in Camden for 29 years.
And don't forget the Latin Casino! I first saw Joan Rivers there in '73 [[John Davidson opened for her). I was born in Philly and raised in Ventnor [[near AC).
Susaye is on more than 2 tracks on HE. obviously she does lead on the title track and then there's her singing on IGLMHDTW. But if you listen to the unreleased Ralph Terranna tracks on the Let Yourself Go set, you clearly hear her singing background on more of the songs. I Don't Want To Lose You and Til The Boat Sails Away.
reading the liner notes to the Let Yourself Go set, according to the recording dates listed, much of the background work was done in Feb AFTER Cindy left the group. of course it's certainly possible that the dates are incomplete. I'm only hypothesizing but I wonder if it's actually Cindy that's only one a little bit of HE and Susaye is on the majority?
From what I've been told, some of those dates are incorrect. Susaye did leads for "High Energy" and "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking" and I do hear her on the Russ Terrana mix of "I Don't Want To Lose You," but she's not on "Til The Boat Sails Away" or anything else. It's Cindy all over the album. That album was just about completed with Cindy...background vocal wise at least.
