GWEN OWENS - I LOST A GOOD THING


Hailing from Detroit, Gwen Owens was apparently still a teenager when this track was cut. Talk about precocious, with a seasoned voice like this!

She cut a few more records on her own (which sell for massive bucks, but IMO this one is the best), then went on to work as a session backup singer, lead a group in the 70's and today, she is "back home" teaching music and singing at her church (in Los Angeles). Great to read that she is still singing.

A MASSIVE record!

from 1967...

You said out of all her songs, this the best one. The way horns and voices are going back and forth, I can't imagine her making a better record. It's pretty funky.
