Here we go again with yet another Philadelphia Re-edit Session from Paul
Simpson. His subject this time out consists of four tracks by
Brenda & The Tabulations from their 1977 album "I Keep Coming Back For More".
The album was recorded at Sigma Sound Studio and produced by a
combination of John Davis, Norman Harris, Bobby Eli along with Gilda C.
Woods who originally signed the group to her Dionn set up. In fact it was
after seeing the group appear at the Uptown Theatre (Philly's version of
The Apollo where her DJ husband hosted the shows) that she decided to set
up the Dionn label in 1966 to showcase their talent.
The group was formed in 1966 with a line-up of Brenda Payton, Eddie
Jackson, Jerry Jones and Maurice Coates and stayed at Dionn and
subsidiary label Top and Bottom until being singed to Epic when the line
up changed with the three male backing singers departing and replaced by
Pat Mercer and Deborah Martin.
Their last few singles for Top And Bottom involved Van McCoy who they
continued to work with when they singed to Epic in 1972 with limited
success. Only one of their four singles for the label between 1972-75
charted, that being "One Girl Too Late" which was popular in the UK although didn't chart but made it to #46
US R&B.
In 1977 they signed to Chocolate City but in reality it was Brenda with
no Tabulations as she was essentially solo by this time. A third album
was released "I Keep Coming Back For More" which produced two minor R&B hits "Home To Myself" (#61) and "(I'm A) superstar" (#31).
Brenda died in from breast cancer 1992 aged 46.
