La Reine La Mar - That's not the way to love/Mama I don't wanna Cloud, 503-B(1965/66)
Two reviews in one here but we can hardly ignore the fact that these two awesome female beat ballads share the same backing track, but each having a different set of lyrics. Both records probably came out around 1965/1966. The thing I find really strange about these two releases is that on closer inspection of the labels there is no connection in the writers, producers or arrangers. My personal favourite is Marion Stewart's version but the jury's out on the rest of the Northern soul Scene as I get asked for each of them on a regular basis in just about equal numbers. As far as rarity concerned you definitely see less copies of La Reine La Mar's version but both are hard to find. The scan's show a stock copy of La Reine La Mar and a white demo of Marion Stewart, I have yet to see a demo of La Reine La Mar but pale blue stock copies of Marion Stewart are out there. In my opinion two of the finest female sounds around. (See two records down for the second review).

Patrice Holloway: Another Soulful Star in the Sky
All of us at Hitsville mourn the tragic loss of Ms. Patrice Holloway. Her style of singing was sultry, very understated and truly soulful. No fan of rare soul fan would disagree. It's very unfortunate that a proper collection of her music has never been put together in her lifetime. We decided to dedicate a page to pay tribute to this lovely woman by telling a little about her and showcase her talents by putting up a collection of her music to listen to and enjoy. If you're new to Patrice Holloway, we'd like to introduce you to your new favorite artist
Voici une vidéo reçue sur youtube, il y a 3 label pour le même titre, je vous garanti la rareté.....
