One of only about a dozen 45s released on the San Francisco Reynolds label in
the 70s, It's been a long time favourite on the scene. It is alleged that Ian
Levine first played it at Blackpool Mecca in 1975.
The flip side 'That's Why I Cried' is a fairly MORish ballad which sounds very dated even for 1972 - it sounds more like a song from the 40s/50s.
Prices for this one on original label are all over the place ranging from £400
to £1,500. One is currently for sale on a respected dealers site for £1,200
but the last one listed on Popsike sold for around £450 and the highest sale
on Discogs is £1,500. It has been reissued about three times, Goldmine (around
1998), Lowton anniversary 45 (1999) and more recently by Real Side in 2019.
Her only other known releases are both on Walter Stone's Loadstone
label (San Francisco),
'Thank You Love'
(Vocal/Inst) released in 1975 is a soulful ballad/stepper, followed by
'You Touched The Inner Part Of Me'
(Vocal/Inst) in 1978 which is difficult to categorise other than 70s
modern soul/rare groove.
Curiously, I found a recent (Nov 2019) re-edit of 'Thank You Love' on BandCamp by Skill, a Bulgarian DJ/Producer!
