Recently, I noticed that four singers on my '60s soul playlist all happened to be named "Barbara" - definitely a popular girl's name of that time! Here's a medley of their biggest hits (with position and year charted on the "Hot 100" and their distinctive soul touches):
- "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)" by Barbara George (#3 in 1962, piano intro., horns)
- "Hello Stranger" by Barbara Lewis (#3 in 1963, organ)
- "Yes, I'm Ready" by Barbara Mason (#5 in 1965, orchestra)
- "You'll Lose A Good Thing" by Barbara Lynn (#8 in 1962, sax)
Enjoy!
