@testtubeblues1 - In terms of recording, Aretha may have had the jump (as a gospel pianist/vocalist), though Julie had something of a career before teaming up with Brian Auger. Most notable was being a member - along with Auger, Rod Stewart, and drummer Mickey Waller (Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart... ) in Long John Baldry's band. There were various recordings with Julie (who was also a secretary for the Yardbirds fan club), though with the Trinity she took on an exotic persona and was in instant star.
@MrCherryJuice Steampacket were a RnB style revue not JB's band. they were each top quality musicians and have been called the first supergroup (pre-dating Cream by 2 or 3 years). they had lead vocals on different tunes.
@rearly62 - Thanks for that (and sorry for the delayed response). Brian Auger told a tale where Steampacket played a debutants party outside London, at some big posh mansion. Before the gig, Jools, harassed by Rod Stewart hid in a room; drummer Mickey Waller threw up in the pool; Long John was passed out drunk; and Rod was shagging the debutant in the bushes. I know Auger somewhat - I must ask him about this. And everyone thought the Who were the bad boys!
I love the Dusty Springfield-style hand movements, but nothing can distract from the fact that Ms. Driscoll (like a young Bonnie Bramlett was doing in the USA) brought a tasteful dose of soul to a (white) music scene that was becoming increasingly macho and muso-oriented. Imagine if she and Steve Marriott did something together around this time. Indeed, she and Arthur Brown! But even on her own, with Brian's keys pushing her onward, Julie was a delight, and this vid is a great reminder.

@PsychLion,Jools has some serious finesse and sublime twists in her vocal style.Something as basic as "Save Me" sounds like a completely different and BETTER song.Very hip!
Way way way way cool. The billing was Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger & The Trinity, but sometimes it was Julie Driscoll and The Brian Auger Trinity. Driscoll's name was always first.
Interesting. As a Yankee, I just now "discovered" this phenomenon. Just seven months ago I came upon the fab Ruth Pearson and "Pan's People" for the first time. Got to hand it you Brits; you hunker down and do your homework and research in ethnic musicology of espec. the US. Very impressive mimics of R&B\Soul by these Anglo artists.
I remember reading a fanzine interview with her where she said she cut her hair with fingernail scissors- I think she was bullshitting the interviewer.
Formidable ce morceau.

B A was unique but who did it first? Aretha Franklin or Julie Driscoll ?
Their voices were equally good.

A shame that Julie Driscoll, et. al. barely made inroads over here since they put their own stamp on the material they came across.

Jools is now doing avant garde jazz, with her husband pianist Keith Tippet. She's now known as Julie Tippetts, yes, she added the 's'.
Check out her solo albums, especially '1969' and 'Sunset Glow'. She's also guested on a few of composer Carla Bley's albums.
