Jo Ann Garrett [1969] - Ain't No Way [Chess #LPS-1548]

Probably one of the best covers of Aretha's "Ain't No Way" recorded by Jo Ann Garrett on her 1969  album "Just A Taste". A deep gospelesque rendition.

Jo Ann Garrett won a talent show at Chicago's Regal Theatre aged 15 which won her a contract with Chess and resulted in her first single "Stay by My Side". Further singles followed with the top sides backing vocals being sung by The Dells. She recorded just one album. 

In 1968 she left Chess to join Duo but Chess released other material by her after her departure. Many of her recordings have become favourites on the UK rare soul scene, especially a few on Duo.
