Norma Jenkins - Patience Is A Virtue (1976) LP Desert Moon - Rare Soul (FLAC) Re-post Upgrade

Hot on the heels of yesterdays post on Norma comes her only studio recorded album..I originally posted this on the old blog in mp3......Norma was raised in New Jersey (even though her style is southern) and was active between the mid 1960s and 1970s. She first appeared as the frontwoman for Norma Jenkins and the Dolls on the single “The Airplane Song,” released in 1966 on Detroit’s Maltese label. Several more singles followed on various labels over the next seven years. Contracted to Buddah Records’ imprint Desert Moon in 1975, she released the uptempo, 2/4 brass-belter “Gimme Some (Of Your Love),” which would subsequently appear on her lone album. Released in 1976 with vocal backing from The Ellington Sisters, "Patience Is a Virtue". The stand out track "can you imagine that" was a huge hit in the UK Northern Soul Scene and the album is still in demand today with soul lovers and collectors alike. Not much was heard from Jenkins after her one LP, though she did briefly record with the P-Funk All Stars ‎on their 1983 release "Urban Dancefloor Guerillas", on which she is credited as Norman Jean Jenkins. Like most of her music she works closely again the the great George Kerr who knew how to get the best out of her talents. This is a truly magnificent powerhouse of an album gone down in soul history as one of the very best!
