Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to a new week here at the Corners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, I was watching one of those PBS clip-a-thons, and what should pop up on the screen, but film of Barbara Lynn<\/strong> performing on the 1960s, Nashville-based TV show, The Beat!!!<\/p>\n

I had seen the clip before (I have a couple of the DVD collections that Bear Family released from the show), but my wife, who was sitting with me, had not.<\/p>\n

She asked who we were watching, and I gave her the short version of the Barbara Lynn<\/strong> story.<\/p>\n

She marveled at Lynn\u2019s unique status as a singer\/guitarist, and I said that although I had always kind of kept that thought on the back burner, it never really occurred to me how unusual it really was.<\/p>\n

For those of you that don\u2019t know, Barbara Lynn (born Barbara Lynn Ozen<\/strong> in 1942 in Beaumont, TX) hit the scene in 1962 with the record you see before you today.<\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019ll Lose a Good Thing\u2019 was an R&B #1 hit (Top 10 Pop) in June of 1962. While it was her only significant Pop hit, she managed to place a number of records in the R&B Top 100 (and a couple in the Top 40) between 1963 and 1971 for labels like Jamie, Tribe and Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Lynn\u2019s style was a mixture of R&B, soul and the blues, all delivered in her rich, soulful voice.<\/p>\n

She also wrote much of her own material.<\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019ll Lose a Good Thing\u2019, one of the great, late night, slow dancers was recorded in New Orleans, with none other than Mac Rebennack<\/strong> on the keys.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned earlier, though this was Lynn\u2019s biggest hit, she went on to record a bunch of great stuff through the 60s and early 70s, including the sought after and oft covered 1966 classic \u2018I\u2019m a Good Woman\u2019, and she\u2019s still playing today.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the sounds, and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
