Tammy St. John He's the One for Me (The Pye Singles As & Bs)

I was thrilled this week when I saw that Spotify had a collection of the British singer Tammy St. John. She was a singer that didn't have success at the time but her singles have been rediscovered. At only 14, Tammy St. John sang one of the best songs from the British female singers of the 1960s "Dark Shadows and Empty Hallways". She really gives a mature reading. It's epic. She did other good songs like a cover of The Chiffons "Nobody knows what's Goin' In" and "Boys." Nothing compared to "Dark Shadows and Empty Hallways" though. It's a missed opportunity. Maybe she would have gone to become ones of the greats like Lulu and Petula Clark with the right promotion. I'm glad that someone complied this.

Wendy Dawn Harper Valley P.T.A.

Wendy Dawn only made one album. It was for the RCA Camden label. She had an interesting voice and the album was sung well. The problem was the album just contained originals. Now other female country singers of the time like Connie Smith and Dottie West did this too but they also included original songs in their albums. I'm sure if Wendy did this she would have had more of a career. If you're looking for obscure country singers Wendy fits the description. Apparently she did a few singles too which I'll have to track down.
