Am wondering: does anyone know much about Florence Lyles, the singer that duetted with Marvin on his "Live at the London Palladium" LP?
Side 3 of the LP has the following track listing:
1. Medley III [[Performed by Gaye & Florence Lyles) – 11:41:
"You're All I Need to Get By"
"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"
"Your Precious Love"
"It Takes Two"
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
I would assume she would have been someone "special" to Marvin, as I can't imagine he would let just "anyone" take Tammi's parts. I've heard Ms. Lyles and, no offense, don't think she's "all that". My ears hear a bit of an accent; is she possibly from the area? Did she record anything else in the UK?
