Carolyn Franklin / Sister soul (Kent) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| good chance to re-evaluate this underated
female singer! 22 soulful tracks from her RCA days ('69 - '76), no "previously
unreleased" tracks but some non-album rarities, not just Aretha's younger sister
but the powerful, funky yet fully chaming female singer of the '70s |
| All I want to be is your woman,There I go,It's
true I'm gonna miss you,Reality,I ain't got to love nobody else,Not on the
outside,Shattered pride,Can you have my soul,I can't help my feeling so
blue,etc. |
