Pat Brown - Equal Opportunity (1996) - Ace Records (USA) - Rare Soul (FLAC)

Beautiful album exquisitedly executed by the obscure Pam Brown & Released by Ace records out of Jackson, Mississippi not the london outfit. Although this label is in jackson nearly all their material is New Orleans based music. Pat was born in meridian Mississippi in 1949 and passed away in Jackson Mississippi 2019. Not a very well known artist in the soul world as only 5 studio albums recorded. This was her debut album and she duetted with Willie clayton on the second track. The Meridian native, 69, started her singing career while attending Harrison Junior College, where she joined a group called The Dynamics which later changed to The Commodores. This album gained a lot of attention due to her unique tone and vocal range. Brown received her inspiration from artists like Aretha Franklin and Ann Pebbles. She worked and toured with Jimmy Breedlove known to most soul fans. Not played this in a long time till a request for it came rolling in. Thanks to Hakase for back cover.
