Images like this one are priceless.

Graham will provide some detail soon, on yet another classic from his collection.

Thanks David,
This is Mike Terry's ex-wife, Barbara.
If you look at some "Pied Piper" 45s you can see the publishing credited to "Earlbarb" ... Barb= Barbara. Lorraine Chandlers' "What Can I Do" is one example.
She was on The Primettes (Supremes) first recording that was released on Lupine, titled "Tears of Sorrow."
And she once told me that she was in a group called Velvet Hammer, but I'm not sure if this is the 70's group that recorded a song called "Happy."
This 1960's photo shows her as the lead singer of a white Detroit group - who never recorded.

Graham,

I think there's two groups called the Velvet
Hammer. I'll post more info. when I've checked my files.

Who's the skinny one next to the sax player ? :-)

douglasm - I don't know the name of the group. Maybe Stubass or Lynn can help?
