BETTY LLOYD - SNOWFLAKES


(Originally posted 12/24/11)

One of the prettiest, yet little known soul Christmas singles.

I'm not sure if this Betty Lloyd is the same singer who was a member of the east coast girl group The Percells; Thomas Records  was a Chicago label, and this track certainly has an indelible Chicago stamp on it.

The lyrics brilliantly capture the feeling of being alone at Christmas, but without self pity. Oozing with quality, this song should be a holiday standard.

from 1969...

Hi Derek,

appears she was a member of Percells, but have YET to find any info about the single. What's on the other side?

Cheers!

Ciao! For now.
