I seem to remember a group by this name on Date Records-or am I being delusional?

Are you familiar with Frankie Gearing? She was a member of this group and was later in the Hi Records act Quiet Elegance.

There's a whole back story to the Glories, which involves the Steinways on Oliver (more Northern soul) and some other collectable soul heroes.

Best,

Mark

With eight singles to their credit the Glories
are long overdue for a CD compilation of their work - it's a crime that there is so little of their work in print. I was always amazed that
"Give Me My Freedom" wasn't a hit - it should've
been huge.

Millie Scott(Milderd Vaney) was in the Glories.
She was a school mate of my late wife, at Beach High in Savannah, Georgia..

My fave was Lullaby of love.

The Glories did a version of "Lullaby of Love"? Interesting...I only thought the Poppies did a version of that.

Best,

Mark

I have the CD of Quiet Elegance with members of The Glories and Lois Reeves of the Vandellas. I really like that CD. Does anyone know if they sounded similar to The Glories, since 2/3 of the group was the Glories?
