In 1966, Barbara Jean Acklin was a receptionist at Brunswick Records. She co - wrote 'Whispers (Getting Louder)', a huge hit for Jackie Wilson, and landed a recording contract. In 1968, 'Love Makes A Woman' reached #15 on the Billboard pop chart. 'Am I The Same Girl' followed in 1969, just making it into the Hot 100. Soon after the original release, producer Carl Davis removed Acklin's vocal and replaced it with a piano solo, creating the instrumental 'Soulful Strut' which gave Young - Holt Unlimited a #3 hit in the USA. This Outta Sight 2025 release offers a first - time pressing of the vocal and instrumental back - to - back on black 7' vinyl.
This is a great 7 - inch vinyl record to enjoy. To use it, simply place it on a working turntable. Make sure the turntable is set to the correct speed (usually 45 RPM for 7 - inch records). When you're done listening, gently lift the needle off the record. To keep it in good condition, always handle the vinyl by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, and use a good quality record sleeve to protect it from dust. If it gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush or a proper record cleaning solution. Enjoy this classic piece of music!
