    The rarely mentioned divas of the sixties include Barbara Lynn, Mitty Collier, Jackie Ross, Betty Everett, Mar Wells and Maxine Brown to name a few. Listen to them, you’ll be glad that you did! (if you haven’t already!)

    The name of that song is “Stagger Lee”. He also scored big with a song called “Personality”

    Where’s Sam Cooke? “Listen to the music on the radio!” (Not anymore :(
    Dinah Washington/Etta James/Ruth Brown were the “divas” of the time.

    I made a little tribute to Jimmy Reed - most successful Bluesman of the late 50’s and early 60’s whose songs frequently crossed over into the pop charts (big boss man 2:14).
    Just click on my name to watch my animated short - just 74 seconds long called “24 bars for Jimmy Reed”.
    Best regards!
