Apparently a lot of her vocals on their later duets were actually sung by Valerie Simpson because Tammi was too sick. I think 'The Onion Song' is one of them, I'm sure some Motown anorak can put me straight on that.
Yes. In David Ritz's 'Divided Soul' Marvin is quoted as saying that Valerie could sing so like Tammi, even he couldn't tell which of the two was singing on some songs many years later.
Excellent track. And didn't she have a tragic life?
ReplyDeleteVery sadly George, yes. But the joy in her singing...! Listening to this and some of her other things with Marvin yesterday, I was so *lifted*.
ReplyDeleteLoved the stuff they did together. They were meant to be a duo just like the Krankies.

ReplyDeleteMaybe see you down the bar later? Vince St Clair Disco is on for Children In Need. Gloria's 'selling' snogs for a pound.

And don't be eating pickled eggs and smoking woodbines before it's my turn.
Oh, Tammi.
