The Jones Girls - Hey Lucinda (1975) super funky 45 Curtom Records rare soul funk Curtis Mayfield

This ultra-funky, rare early single by the Jones Girls was released on Curtis Mayfield's label Curtom Records. It was co-written by Quinton Joseph, onetime drummer for Mayfield who also was a member of MFSB, along with Chicago-based soul songwriter Daniel Reed and Tony Green who was the Dramatics' bassist from 1974-1992. The late singers Valorie and Brenda Jones and their sister Shirley made up the vocal trio the Jones Girls. Originally from Detroit, the sisters started out as backup singers for Lou Rawls and Aretha Franklin while releasing a string of singles in the early 70s that did not chart for labels including GM, Music Merchant (the least known of Holland-Dozier-Holland's post-Motown record labels), Paramount, and Curtom Records. From 1975-78, they sang backup for Diana Ross. In 1979, they signed with Philadelphia International Records and released their self-titled debut LP on PIR, which reached #8 on the R&B charts propelled by its single "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else," co-written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.
