Big Maybelle - Oh Lord What are You Doing to Me? video free download

Jeanie Scott

My husband's friend and favorite female singer on the ballads. They would switch off songs with each other every night while on tour. Jimmy loved Big Maybelle, Little Miss Cornshucks, & Dinah Washing for female vocal stylists.

I can hear a voice alone in the wilderness calling. Utter desolation. Rock of ages cleave for me, let me hide myself in thee!

@sarahkleen I think you (packard400) if you think that black american music, and namely soul, fits only/either into two UK-defined catagories. I was introduced to this record by a friend who was on the northern soul scene from the early 70s. Neither he, nor most other folk I've met share your very narrow definition of soul music. Of course it isn't a northern tune, but it's most certainly a soul record by most people's definition. Try listening to Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures.

I have to add this because my head is still reeling. I met Maxine Brown this past Wednesday in a club in Harlem called the Creole. I had never met her before. We sat and talked for about 4 hours and Maxine is as down-to-earth and classy as you'd imagine! I asked her about this particular song, and she said after she recorded it, Scepter took the exact backing for Big Maybelle's record. If you wondered why the 2 records sound similar, it's because they're the exact same backings!
