Description:

＜The 4th edition of "60s R&B Girls Heaven" features the charms of the "First Diva" of Philly Soul! Barbara Mason could be called the "First Diva" of Philly Soul. She was only 17 years old when she made her big break as a singer and songwriter with her 1965 self-written song "Yes, I'm Ready" (No. 5) for Arctic. Arctic released two albums with hit titles, "Yes, Im Ready" (10.30:No. 129) in 1965 and "Oh, How It Hurts" in 1968, but this CD contains 20 songs, including the Crusader version, which is an original compilation of mainly single songs. ～Excerpts from the commentary by Toru Ueshiba
