Barbara Lynn’s Birthday Party in Beaumont, TX. -My favorite music hands down is women driven Soul/R&B! The band was blessed to play with Barbara Lynn in 2011 at The Beaumont Jazz & Blues Fest! She is amazing! Her guitar playing, easiness and command on stage is inspiring, spiritual and motivating! Check her out!….
Her first single, “You’ll Lose A Good Thing”, was a number 1 US Billboard R&B chart hit and Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1962,[2] and was later a country hit record for Freddy Fender.
Soon Lynn was touring with such soul musicians as Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Al Green, Carla Thomas, Marvin Gaye, Ike and Tina Turner, The Temptations, and B.B. King.
She appeared at the Apollo Theater, twice on American Bandstand, and had her penned song, “Oh Baby (We’ve Got A Good Thing Goin’)” (1964) covered by The Rolling Stones on their album The Rolling Stones Now! (1965).[2]
And, Robert Plant has recorded one of her songs on his latest album. They played together recently in Marfa.
