Byrdie Green was soul/jazz singer from Detroit and was active mainly in the 60s. She died in 2008 aged 72. Probably best known for 'Return Of The Prodigal Sun' from her 1968 album Sister Byrdie which was reissued on Jazzman in 2003 and to the popcorn scene for 'Tremblin'' on End in 1962.
Byrdie Green [1969] - Don't Make It Hurt [Hallmark XX8]
A beautifully crafted deep soul ballad written by Lori Burton & Pam Sawyer and delivered so soulfully by Byrdie Green with lush strings and wailing female backing singers. One for the deep soul lovers and lowriders.

Byrdie Green [1969] - The Magic Of Your Love [Hallmark XX8]
String section in prominence on the intro. This has a dated sound for 1969, it sounds much earlier - early 60s 'bossa nova'. Interestingly both Discogs and 45Cat date this release as 1969 by her Wiki page states 1963. This track certainly sounds from that era but the top side later. The writer Vincent Catalano was active between 1958 to 1964 so perhaps it was just an old song they decided to put on the flip?
