A triple play for this Thursday, Sydney time as I post (July 7, 2022) and another in my series of Dave's Got It Covered. 'Mama's Little Girl' (like all the posts this week have been from 1974), is best known to me and other Aussies of that era for the version by Miss Linda George, a beautifully toned English born, Australian raised vocalist who had a great career in our great land for the better part of two decades. I am none the wise as to why Linda was credited as 'Miss Linda George' but that was how she was listed on her 70's solo albums and singles. But I'll go back a step, to the iconic Dusty Springfield who recorded 'Mama's Little Girl' a year before Linda George. What a legend this lady was, with a discography filled with splendid performances and a decade of hit singles but by 1973, her run of successful songs had begun to dry up. With classics like 'I Only Want To Be With You' (her first major hit), 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself', 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' and 'Son Of A Preacher Man', Dusty was the pre-eminent British pop singer. In 1973 her long player 'Cameo' was released in both America (where it had been recorded) and England but it failed to fire, and although 'Mama's Little Girl' which was issued as a single, it did not make the Pop charts, although it was a minor success on the Adult Contemporary chart. There is no mistaking the unique tones and phrasing of the late great Dusty Springfield. Linda George covered 'Mama's Little Girl' in 1974 and ended up with the best selling song in her career; making #8 nationally in Australia and sold copies for nearly 6 months. Linda recorded a follow up opus in 1975 and that spawned another hit 'Shoo Be Doo Be Doo Da Day' (a Stevie Wonder cover), and then other than a lot of background vocal session work, Linda became a qualified teacher and has devoted her time to education and mentoring. Her warm and sweet tones were popular with both the public and her colleagues in the music industry. And then there's Renee Geyer..... Her version of 'Mama's Little Girl' has more of the feel of the Dusty version; perhaps as Renee's husky and textured vocals were more aligned to those of the British legend, but Renee was just getting started in 1974, and only 21 when she recorded the seminal song and album 'It's A Man's Man's World' from which this album track emanated. Her James Brown cover would provide Renee with her first taste of chart success, and the album would make the Top 30 nationally and the title track just missed the Top 40 nationally (#44) and yet it was an absolute killer vocal and a brilliant recording - probably way ahead of its time. Renee was always impossible to categorise and as a white woman singing a black soul man's song was a portent of what was to come for Renee as she was often mistaken, pigeon-holed, but she would have none of it and carved the career she wanted, both here in Oz and in America as a very successful session singer. Renee Geyer means a lot to me, and is only just behind my Top 3 women (Melissa, Donna and Dionne). There is a lot of music on my channel that bears her name and her voice is simply other worldly. 'Mama's Little Girl' was memorialised by these three women at very different points in their respective lives and careers. With the feminist movement having gained a lot of momentum since the early 70's and the seminal 'I Am Woman', I think that 'Mama's Little Girl' is another rite of passage anthem.
