Gloria Walker [1971] - My Precious Love [People #45-2504]


A superb, deep soul tune that got plays on the modern soul scene. It was the first of her three releases on Federal between 1971-72, and this one also got a release on People in 1971.

Prior to this single she cut three 45s for Flaming Arrow in 1968-69, the last two as Gloria Walker & The Chevelles. Her first released in 1968, titled 'Talking About My Baby', was a take on Etta James' 'I'd Rather Go Blind' with her mainly rapping over the riff. Her material is mainly deep southern soul or sister funk in the same style as Marva Whitney and Lyn Collins.
