LIGHTEN UP BABY / ALL AT ONCE

Ty Karim is one of the finest Los Angeles singers to have never scored a hit in her own country. Her records are rightly lauded in Europe though and we present two of the best on her producer and partnerAEs Romark label in our Repro series. aeLighten Up BabyAE is a rare classic stomper from the heyday of Northern Soul. It was actually a one-off Car-A-Mel release in 1966 but it was recorded as part of Kent HarrisAE Romark set-up.
