About This Item
In the annals of Soul Music history, there are a handful of recording artists whose relatively short-lived careers give rise to the stuff of legends. Such is the case with Linda Jones who died in 1972 at the tender age of twenty-eight from complications arising from diabetes. To say that the Newark, New Jersey-born Soulstress was on the verge of a major career breakthrough when she passed away at the tail end of a successful stint at New York's famed Apollo Theater would only add fiction to the legend. Rather, Linda was still in the process of cementing a following among R&B music buyers which had started with her now-classic Top 5 R&B and Top 30 1967 pop hit InchHypnotized.Inch Both Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin have gone on record saying that Linda was one of the greatest female singers they ever heard. Presented here is the hair-raising InchHypnotizedInch coupled with the rare InchMake Me Surrender.Inch Newly re-mastered.
