LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Rosetta Highower was lead voice with the Orlons, the prime US girl group who scored several top 10 US hits between 1962-1964. Their full Cameo Parkway releases and sessions have just been reissued by Abkco. Rosetta first recorded in England in the late sixties , and joined the ranks of the then all conquering female sessions singers who seemed to back every hit going. Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan, Kay Garner , Kiki Dee, Liza Strike, Sue and Sunny . Moving permanently to England in 1970 Rosetta married musician producer Ian Green and recorded an album for CBS , swiftly followed this one for Rediffusion. There are some truly fine arrangements of Motown songs complete with orchestration by Martyn Ford , and backing vocals from Kay Garner and Liza Strike . With Rosettas powerful and strident vocals this album has a great pop soul crossover sound. In all, a widescreen approach to music. Bonus tracks are the first solo singles released by Rosetta in the UK on the collectable Toast label , from 1968. A rare item, and collectable by US and Uk girl group fans alike.
