This YT video was actually posted on another site. It's a rare clip of Lyn Roman [aka Linda Griner] performing her 1965 Mercury single, "G.B. [[Goodbye) Day" on Shivaree. It aired on 10/30/65. I always liked this single. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing this interesting video. It's too bad Linda Griner didn't stick around Motown for a couple more years. It would have been interesting to see what Smokey or one of the guys could have come up with for her. I like her voice.

Wonderfully dramatic performance--and I loved watching her. A strange song but I enjoyed it a lot, as well as her voice. Great footage of time and place. Thank you Nplm.

Gary,

If I recall correctly there are some unreleased Motown tracks on Linda Griner. It would be great if one or more of these tracks would be included on a "Motown Girls 2" or "Cellarful, Vol. 5" set...

Your welcome, Meth.

The tune has a pop/MOR feel to it; kinda reminds me of a Barbara McNair song. She had a few singles on Mercury/Dot, including a nice version of "Just A Little Lovin' [[Early In The Morning)" which I loved by Dusty as well. Lyn also recorded the wonderful "Stop, I Don't Need No Sympathy" for Brunswick in '73.

Now that was a fantastic lip-synch! She really had those lyrics down along with her own phrasing on the recording so that it almost looked like a live performance. Ed Townsend produced and Horace Ott wrote and arranged this dramatic number. I'd love it if there was a Lyn Roman CD available. The girl pop music of the 60s [[aside from the Motown ladies) was pretty terrific--and long forgotten if it didn't make the Top 10.

Thanks for sharing this video, N_P_L_M!

Let's keep our fingers crossed, nplm. Linda Griner also had great stage presence in that video. Given the right material and production, she could have been a Motown star by the mid-1960's, had she not left for whatever reason.
