Sharon Soul - Voice Of The People (1971) Stang LP Only + Bonus Tracks (MP3)HQ - Rare Soul

Its great to see more of you guys coming forward with your own reviews!.......This lady came to my attention once again on the dancefloors of the northern scene back in the day. With only this one album to her credit and a handfull of singles she is another artist to add to the great unknowns list of talent. Sharon (Soul) Seiger-Edmonds is a talented singer and songwriter from Harrisburg, PA who recorded for various record labels to include Coral, Symbol,Wild Duece, and All Platinum Records in New York City during the '60s and early '70s.  Sharon had these aliases: Sharon, Sharon Soul, Sharon Seiger, Sharon Roberts, and Sharon Sole (misprint on this album).Sharon and Susan Phillips (One Of Yesterdays Posts) worked together at All Platinum. Sharon Soul, being extremely conscious of the social and political movements throughout the world during the turbulent 60s and early 70s, blended with deep spiritual inspiration,  she wrote the lyrics to all the songs on this album with her husband Nate Edmonds at All Platinum Records in 1971. Nate Edmonds produced the album with "Sylvia" Robinson Of (Love Is Strange/Pillow Talk/Sugarhill Gang) Fame.  The album was never officially promoted in the United States.  Some years later, a war veteran would tell her that they played the album over “radio free Europe”, during the Vietnam War.  She was also happy to learn that UK's Northern Soul community enjoyed her singles made during the 60s a fact not revealed to her until the year 2001. Her son Nate Jnr is a member of a well known soul forum here in the UK. Like so many other American women she was a white lady gifted with a superb soulful voice that did not go unnoticed by collectors and dancers alike.Apart from the album all her 45,s & dancers are also included apart from one C&W 45 that has no interest on this blog..and its crap!..Bonus tracks listed under back cover. No CD release for this gem!...many thx to USMan47 for xtra bonus track!
