Supreme Soul Diva

CD (Item 628281) Invictus (UK), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy

Deep soul and plenty of funk – the lasting legacy of Laura Lee – a singer who was one of the hippest female soul artists of the early 70s! Laura's way more than the soul diva promised in the title – as she's got an earthy, down-home feel that's completely no-nonsense all the way through – proud, powerful, and punched-up with some wicked funky rhythms at the bottom – all produced to perfection with the heavy new 70s sound of the Holland Dozier Holland team! It's no surprise that when people think "bad sister funk", they think of Laura Lee first – as you'll hear on cuts that include "Crumbs Off The Table", "Wedlock Is A Padlock", "I'll Catch You When You Fall", "I Can't Make It Alone", "Her Picture Matches Mine", "Woman's Love Rights", "If You Can't Beat Me Rockin", "Since I Fell For You (parts 1 & 2)", and "Mirror Of Your Soul".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
