BARBARA STANT 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Barbara Stant went on to be known as Queen of the Norfolk Sound having first been spotted in 1970 as a mere teenager. It was then that she auditioned for Noah Biggs, something of a Shiptown impresario who got her to record more than 10 tunes that spanned from sister funk t deep soul via Northern soul. Just eight years later in 1978, the soul train has left the station and disco was the big sound du jour so Stant was left out in the cold. My Mind Holds Onto Yesterday is a collection of the great music she recorded before her time passed, and a great album it is too.

Review: US singer Barbara Stant's story is a common one shared by many female musicians of her generation. She was talented spotted in her teenage years by a local music impresario in the town of Shiptown. His name was Noah Biggs and he swept her up and had her in the studio on and off over the course of eight years from 1970. The music she recorded spanned all soul styles and is now collected on this great album My Mind Holds Onto Yesterday. When disco took over as the big new sound by 1978, Strand was no longer called upon by Biggs so this remains her only work.
