“Secrets of a Sparrow”

[SatansBlues]

Flo was a good singer. Just like there were 1000's of other good singers in the late 1960's. I'm sure it was no secret that Flo could be "difficult"; missing appearances, missing recording dates.

There's no surprise really that Flo didn't become "the next Aretha".

Florence was indeed a good singer, but was she a "Motown" singer? Looking at all the great female singers signed to Motown during the 1960's did Florence have a distinctive enough voice to break thru?

Not in my opinion. She had a big voice and a loud voice but there was nothing there that ever made me think she had the potential to become a major solo star.
