    Great lady whose music I fell in love with wearing out my copy of
    "Soulful Dress" and who I saw live here in London back in the 60's

    RIP Umpeylia

    <<Ms. DeSanto’s first record to reach the charts, “I Want to Know,” was
    a gutbucket blues featuring her raspy vocals recorded on two tracks so
    she could harmonize with herself. The song was also one of her biggest
    hits, climbing to No. 4 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1960.>>

    I guess you consider this a duet.

    I certainly don't consider it to be anything like gutbucket blues. And
    "Slip-In Mules" was NOT top 10 on Billboard. It reached #48 on their Pop
    chart when they had no R&B chart in 1964. It did, however, reach #10 on
    Cash Box's R&B chart.

    This wasn't about "Slip-In Mules," it was about "I Want To Know." 1960,
    not 1964. It was only on the BB R&B charts for 9 weeks, but it did
    indeed peak at #4.

    Good, that means they read my comment and changed it.

    Actually nothing was changed. I'm talking about the article that I
    posted a link to when I started the thread and you're talking about the
    NY Times article.
