ArleneSmith-Chantels-Maybe

Here is Arlene Smith celebrating a sunny Saturday afternoon outdoors at Lincoln Center, 7/30/11 - and sharing a "classic" R&B song which was a hit for her and the Chantels in 1958!!! Sounded pretty good 53 years later! (wow...)

Glad you liked it (and I just happened to find this concert in the park). Actually, I do believe I have one other song I captured immediately after this, and from the introduction I'm thinking it's Louise Murray. I'm in the midst of a big project at the moment, but since there is interest, I'll post the 2nd song soon. (Week or two) - if I have it all and it's ok. I think so.

@renaultfloride - Here it comes! I'm back at the computer and found the next (and last) part of the little bit I have.

Ready? You're close - from the Hearts, but it's Justine "Baby" Washington, doing her big hit for Neptune (1959), "The Time". Just as soon as I can squeeze it out of the 'outer and back into the (You)tube... :-) Enjoy!

Wow indeed! Arlene Smith sounds absolutely fantastic all these years down the line! Thank you so much for posting this wonderful clip! You didn't catch the performances of Louise Murray of The Hearts and The Jaynetts, and of Margaret Ross of The Cookies - she sang 'Chains', 'Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby)' and the ultra-gorgeous 'I Never Dreamed' - by any chance?
