VA - Best Of Brunswick - Sisters (The Sound Of Chicago Soul) (Japanese Remastered) (2014)

Soul sisters galore – a heady helping of work from the Chicago scene and beyond – all pulled from the vaults of Brunswick Records! Brunswick had a few key singers in the late 60s who easily rivaled the best at Motown and Atlantic – and they went onto record some great lesser-knowns in the 70s who really kept the groove high, and who come together here in one massive mighty celebration of female soul! Tracks include some great overlooked singles from the label – and titles include "Do The Whoopie" by Sugar Pie Desanto, "Son Of A Preacher Man" by Erma Franklin, "Got To Be An Answer" by Odyssey 5, "Keep An Eye" by Jean Shy, "Play It Fair" by Lavern Baker, "Love Is Easy To Lose" by Jackie Ross, "Stop I Don't Need No Sympathy" by Lyn Roman, "After You" by Barbara Acklin, "Living In The Footsteps Of Another Girl" by The Promises, and "Higher & Higher" by Dana Valery.
