I had the privilege of seeing Debbie Taylor (now known as Maydie Myles) in her first and only live UK appearance at the Wilton (Wakefield) in Nov 2013. There are 6 video clips I recorded and posted on my YouTube channel. Karl 'Chalky' White has also posted some on his channel. The eagle eyed amongst you may spot Mick Talbot of The Style Council on keyboards!

Compilations
1997 - Still Comin' Down On Ya! [Sequel #NEMCD 941]
There seems to be 2 versions of this CD, one is an identical 9 track version of her first album on Today and the other is a extended 20 track (perhaps Deluxe) version which also includes her 2 Decca 45s, her unreleased 'All That I Have' and all her GWP releases.
If you want to listen all in one go then someone has uploaded the complete CD on YouTube (unless he's 'doctored' the image and included her earliar material .. as I can't find any reference to this release?)

Check Yourself
Never Gonna Let Him Know
Don't Let It End
How Long Can This Last
Don't Nobody Mess With My Baby
Cheaper In The Long Run
I Don't Wanna Leave You
This 1975 45 is probably her finest with 2 brilliant sides. The A side 'I Don't Wanna Leave You' is one of the best deep soul records you will find along with a great modern soul tune 'Just Don't Pay' on the flip.
Just Don't Pay
All That I Have
This is a previously unissued single she recorded with The Hesitations, produced by Larry Saunders. It originally came out as an album track on GWP NYC TCB on Kent in 2005 who then released it on a vinyl 45 coupled with the fantastic Eddie Parker - But If You Must Go on their Deep Soul imprint in 2016.
Kiss Of Life
Taken from her 2011 CD The One I Love
