Book Synopsis
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the legendary Sweethearts of Soul.... At long last the Rock and Soul Foundation is honoring Ruth Thomas, Adeline Lights, Venus Jones and Brenda Wade with a place in its hall of fame. So music reporter Legs Diamond gets the assignment to interview the members of the group. And what a story she hears--from their start singing gospel to their fame and fortune in the 1960s and after.
This is a witty, big-hearted, and irresistible story as only the incomparable Evelyn "Slim" Lambright can tell it.
