If one was cutting a soul, R&B, pop, rock, or girl group record in New York in the ’60s and needed female backup vocals, chances are they’d try to get the Sweet Inspirations first. The group found their way onto numerous recordings, including hits by the Drifters, Van Morrison, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, Garnett Mimms, and most famously, Aretha Franklin (with whom they sometimes toured). The group evolved from the ’50s gospel group the Drinkard Singers. By the time they began to record on their own in 1967, their leader was Cissy Houston (mother of Whitney), and the women were renamed the Sweet Inspirations. Don't Let Me Lose This Dream, 02:23. Don't Fight It, 02:29. Sweet Inspiration, 02:56. Reach Out for Me, 02:23. Why Am I Treated So Bad, 02:49. Now playing: Michael Jackson Billie Jean. 10. U - Michael Jackson. Europe The Final Countdown. Normani Dancing with a Stranger.

They also performed as a group unto themselves, garnering some chart action along the way. This was their first album, recorded in '67, and though it contains mostly covers of the hits of the day, the Sweet Inspirations infuse their unique charm and skill into each number. This is a must-have for girl-group aficionados and soul music historians everywhere.
