    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 ...

    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".

    Hi Mike - glad to see another Syl-Fan, and thanks for the Soultwins pointer; I was not aware of them. Be well, and I for one am always interested in Syl.
