Thanks so much for showcasing Barbara Lynn. She is one of my favourite Soul singers. Her particular version of Soul is called the Gulf Coast blues. She is known as the Queen of the GCBs but for my money she is Queen of a lot more! She still performs today at 79 and normally just boards a Greyhound bus along with guitar and heads of to meet like minded folk. No fanfare or fuss. She is an American Treasure!

Love how she dances with her guitar! She's having a good time. What a talented lady. 👏

Singing in pitch, while playing guitar - all while wearing high heels, which greatly increases the difficulty.
C'mon Fil, please demonstrate. 😄😄😄

Another killer performance from the 1960's. Barbara Lynn, what an inspiration!

The swinging 60's a very cool performance by Barbara Lynn, Clarence Gatemouth Brown and the band. when Barbara did her slide on the fret you smiled with delight. another good one Fil,

A black girl fronting a band and playing guitar, that alone is a mind blower, civil rights time and a forerunner as well...if you lose me you lose a good thing is a classic to boot. Barbara you were a first! I love you, simply said

This performance popped up on my YouTube suggested videos out of nowhere about a year ago. My jaw is still hurting from hitting the floor that hard.

Her "You'll Lose a Good Thing" is such a great song.

[debishaw]

Look at those go go dancers in back. Wow! I don’t know these guys but thanks for the analyses. I learn something new every time.

I've never heard of her until now, an amazing woman. I'd love to see her live, hopefully she'll come around here some day!

Hi Fil! Now how on earth did you remember Barbara Lynn from 66!? You always impress me with your knowledge of so many artists! Wasn’t she amazing!? What a voice...what skills she possessed! One of the greats of that era! Hugs to you Fil for remembering her tonight! Love and ✌️! We left handed folks are talented in our own way!

[seriesscratchx]

I've never heard of her. Fil, you provide so much info! I love learning things from your reactions! And it's cool she's still with us. I'm going to check out the documentary "I Am the Blues" from 2015 that features her and other blues musicians.

Thanks Fil for showcasing neglected greats!

I’m so glad you did this one! It’s one of my favorite performances from The Beat. I love Barbara Lynn! She recorded a couple of songs at my grandfather’s studio in Houston (ACA). Gatemouth recorded a lot of his early sides there, too. I’ve watched this so many times, but you have now increased my appreciation of it even more! Thank you!

[aprils]

Good golly! Don't know her but loved her and the go go dancers. Just what we need now. Thanks for another trip down memory lane.

[lele]

Never heard of Barbara Lynn but wow!! So cool, Fil, and thanks for introducing us to her, , . she's badass!

[mikeisanisland]

Thank you so much for explaining why I loved this.

[BOOMNERD]

Very cool, Fil. I wasn't aware of Barbara Lynn. I love the twangy slides you explained were part of a call an response exchange. That vocal jump was great to be aware of when you replayed it. Love all the details you explain guitar and vocal!

[koroniskoroneos]

Love your analysis of Barb… great sound darn it!
Thank You Fil for including one of my fav artists here on your Wings of Pegasus.
