Ann Sexton is one of the great
unsung female soul singers of all time. She was born in South Carolina and
began singing gospel until 1971 when she spotted by Songwriter/producer Dave
Lee. Her first album 'Loving You Loving Me' was released on John Richbourg's 77
label from Nashville. |
|
It includes the
in demand funky 'Youre Losing Me' and the Northern Soul favourite 'You've Been
Gone Too Long' along with some great Southern Soul gems. Her second and last
album 'In The Beginning' was recorded in Muscle Shoals and released on Sound
Stage 7 in 1977. Both these albums are now extremely hard to find, 'Loving You
Loving Me' fetching about £300, if you can find one. This Anthology puts
together for the first time all the tracks from these two albums plus a seven
inch only modern/crossover track 'You Got To Use What You Got'. The mid tempo
southern tracks, must surely have been an influence on Joss Stone with very
similar phrasing and nuances, just listen to 'Come Back Home' and 'Keep Holding
On'. Partially thanks to Joss Stone, 'Southern soul' music is back in vogue and
hopefully Ann Sexton will get the credit she deserves this time round, for
recording some of the best music of this style ever put on wax or disc.
