NOW WE HAVE THE ALBUM!!! 5 times over!!!- Ginji James - Love Is A Merry-Go-Round (1971) Brunswick Album
THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED AND TO THE 5 STARS WHO SENT IT...POST UP TOMORROW!
I found this Bio of Ginji James Biography Texas student Ginji James was a prime example of the early-'70s ethos. Major companies stuffed their release sheets with albums by unknown and untried acts. Brunswick was no less guilty. The fact that this hot-panted Bachelor of Science could actually sing was a bonus. Her only LP, Love Is A Merry-Go-Round, released in 1970, was packed with Acklin numbers and many good tracks. Ginji has got a style which is both sweet and deep, something that makes her a perfect fit for the sweeping, loping arrangements of the record, very much in the best Chi-soul style of the time. The album is carried off perfectly by a team of studio talents that includes Carl Davis (vice president of recording for Brunswick), Eugene Record, Willie Henderson, and Tom Tom. Ginji's vocals are really wonderful; every bit as great as that of labelmates like Barbara Acklin or The Chi-Lites, and the whole set sparkles with a warmth that is pretty darn hard to find, even in the best soul albums from the time.Great singer even if was only one off album thanks to the contributors of this AMM

I'll shoot that to you, AMM. No artwork, if that's ok.
A great review, all new to me
On the same label Brunswick here is a unknown singer in the same spirit as Barbara Acklin,
with similar orchestrations.
A rarity!!!
Thank you all.
