So strong was Gloria’s following there that she was proclaimed the “Northern Queen of Soul.”

sad over-produced pale immitation of a fantastic song. It was this re-working of classics, sucking the life and energy ut of them that drove me to jazz funk; am over that now and really enjoying being back on the soul scene, listening to the original sounds.
