Rose Battiste Story

Rose's
fifth and last 45 also suffered from bad timing.
The
Parliament's Top 20 smash I Wanna Testify (Revilot
207), was released simultaneously to her underrated I'll
Still Wait For You and unkindly condemned it to the land
of flops. Rose's fine vocal delivery and the polished work
of Mike Terry and Leon Ware deserved better.
Rose
backed away from recording and started working as a
receptionist at Solid Hitbound's small office on Puritan
Street, but soon moved to a job in the advertising
department at General Motors.
