Description:
Vocalist Gloria Lynne's style falls between bop, '50s middle of the road pop, and early soul. A winner of the amateur competition at the legendary Apollo Theater, Lynne sang with some vocal groups before going solo. These two albums are highlights of her early '60s career: On "He Needs Me", she demonstrates that she can sing with the best of them, while on "This Little Boy Of Mine", she is heard in several different settings, exhibiting comfort, assuredness and retaining her formidable individuality. The album "He Needs Me" was originally released in 1961 as Everest 1128. "This Little Boy Of Mine" was originally released in 1961 as Everest 1131. |
