Tata Vega was actually recording in 1971 w/the group Pollution(they did 3 albums). Amazing even then...particularly on a blues track from their first LP called Mother Earth(1971)
Tata was comin for Denice williams and Aretha on this one, I wonder why the BEST singers like Tata, Rachelle Ferrelle, patti Labelle, are not as recognized as they should be for their ability to use their voices to the fullest. low and hi ranged, emotion, authnicity, originality, industry does not appreciate this, they go for the cookie cut-ism. YUCK. originality wins in my book.
