in 93 I was 19 years old and i borrow from a friend the CD - "Top Ten Soul Billboard" and became a huge fan, 30 years after her peak in pop charts. Now Im 50 years old and listen her version for caroles King " Oh no, not my baby", the best vesion of all. Fontela Bass you were wonderful!
Love this ❤ my name is Charles Drain jr and grew up knowing her as a beautiful spirit. She called me up on stage to sing with her when I was a teen. I later got to support Favid on a USO tour he did in the 90s. RIP 🙏🏿 BOTH OF THEM
