I was wondering about the incredible background vocals on this one and meant to mention that in my original post; I had never heard of Quiet Elegance ...

They were on the HI record label out of Memphis & consisted of Frankie Gearing & Lois Reeves and I can not remember the other ladys' name.

Thanks; the same Lois Reeves who was a Vandella on the Black Magic lp, correct?

Oh yes.I think Frankie & the other lady had been in the group The Glories. They had a record on HI "You Got My Mine Messed Up". Quiet Elegance also backed up Otis Clay on his HI recordings.

Thanks SO much for your follow-up, motony - I find this sort of information so interesting. So Lois has had more of a career that normally known!

Really nice to see Syl Johnson on the forum

My favourite track by Syl, "Anyway The Wind Blows".
