  RARE
  UNDER THE RADAR FROM 2012
  LAST COPIES ON THE PLANET!
  KILLER VERSION OF I RATHER GO BLIND BY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL JB GIRLS!!!!
  
  Martha Highs’ impeccable soul credentials are beyond question. She was a member of The Jewels, who in the mid 60’s were part of The James Brown Revue, and also released two 45s produced by James Brown, Although The Jewels eventually disbanded, Martha continued to be a part of the live James Brown show for the next 30 years! It’s Martha’s voice that graces JB classics such as ‘Say It Loud – I’m Black & I’m Proud’ & ‘The Big Payback’ amongst many others. She also recorded a solo album, for Salsoul Records in 1979, also produced by Soul Brother Number 1, which added a touch of soulful disco to her enviable array of singing talents.
  
  In comparison, the more subtle, tender moments on this album, in particular the heart wrenching version of Etta James’ ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’ had already been proven as a show stopper live, and now that it has been committed to tape, with The Voxettes added backing vocals, and Andy Fairclough’s masterful organ playing, it must surely be one of the finest examples of contemporary bluesy soul around.
