艺人介绍

by Andrew HamiltonAs a 15-year-old student at Chicagos DuSable High School, Joanne Garrett won a recording contract with Chess Records for finishing first in a Regal Theater talent show, no small feat considering Chicagos vast talent pool. The deal produced Stay by My Side, a huge local hit, in 1966.She followed with Dee Clarks You Cant Come In (March 1967) and a remake of the Heartbeats Thousand Miles Away (1968), with the Dells (uncredited) providing backing vocals on the A-sides. Garrett left Chess in 1968 to record for Duo Records and another label. With Andre Williams producing, she cut That Little Brown Letter backed with Ive Gotta Be Loved in 1968 on Duo; later in 1968 she cut One Woman, arguably her most popular recording. Chess emptied their vaults and released Its No Secret and Unforgettable b/w We Can Learn Together in 1970, but they were strictly local. Despite her age, Chi-town producers recorded Garrett in a Dinah Washington-esque vein, but that changed on her sole release for Don Robeys Duke/Peacock setup in Houston, TX, where she waxed Barbara Hammonds Im Under Your Control b/w Sting Me Baby; it was her first record in three years, but the 1973 release duplicated her previous paltry sales figures and the Duke stay was brief. A final single, Dont Abuse Your Faithful Love b/w Charlie Boy (We Got to Love One Another), credited as The Rock With Joanne Garrett, appeared on Scorpio Records; it flopped, and sadly, after a good start, Garrett rarely saw the inside of a recording studio again. Her flops became popular Northern soul items.
