Gerri Granger - Add A Little Love (1972) United Artists - Rare Soul + Bonus

Again,another singer who only ever recorded the one album and nearly 20 singles..again info is sparse but she was the Singer with Lloyd Price & His Band at early age. Considered a child wonder. She had a minor hit with her cover of 1967 Frankie Valli classic hit "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" Gerri Granger was a musical guest on the Johnny Carson show from 1962, in the 1969 series, 1973, 1974 and 1977 series. She also guested on The David Frost Show (1969)UK, and ABC-TV's What's It All About World?.She had a minor hit with a cover of the Frankie Valli standard "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in 1967. She also recorded an answer song to Return to Sender - "Don't Want Your Letters", arranged and conducted by Bert Keyes.Her song "I Go To Pieces (Everytime)" became massive on the U.K.'s Northern Soul Scene,so included here as a bonus track
