Pat Arnold was originally one of The Ikettes, Ike and Tina Turner's backing girl group. She left Los Angeles and emigrated to England and signed to Immediate Records in 1967, and had a huge hit with "The First Cut Is The Deepest". Another single on the same label, "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", which was basically just a re-write of Bobby Scott's soul classic "We're Doing Fine", (also covered by Dee Dee Warwick), became a monster huge in-demand Northern Soul classic, and one of the biggest ever records at the legendary Wigan Casino. Many years later, in 1998, we were filming our Northern Soul documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", so we interviewed and recorded Pat on her big Wigan classic. Then she remembered, when she used to appear there, hearing a wonderful record by a girl called Gerri Granger on Bell Records, called "I Go To Pieces Everytime". Funnily enough, I was the one to discover that record first, and we used to play it at Blackpool Mecca before it crossed over to Wigan, so I suggested we have a go and record it ourselves, not for the documentary, but just to try it out. So we did, and here indeed it is.

In his autobiography Ronnie Wood tells of the flat he rented from Pat Arnold in London. The flat below Ronnie was rented by his pal Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't for long but how cool is that?

Check her out backing the Small Faces "Tin Soldier " ( colour version) The sexiest smile you've ever seen, not to mention the voice.

This morning is the first time that I've--consciously--heard P.P. Arnold's music. Obviously it's not the first time that I've heard her voice, but her records never made it to the radio in Chicago (that I knew of). Her voice has the same brass and edge that Dusty Springfield had, I could listen to this all day, it's so great! Thank you for recording and posting this.
