Helene Smith - Sings Sweet Soul (Old City 1967)


Warning: sound quality is fair, some of the tracks are a little "mushy" (but that's OK with me) Have fun!

1 A WOMAN WILL DO WRONG
2 THRILLS AND CHILLS
3 WRONG
4 YOU GOT TO BE A MAN
5 SURE THING
6 WILLING AND ABLE
7 WHAT'S IN THE LOVING
8 LIKE A BABY
9 CHINA MELODY
10 TRUE LOVE DON'T GROW ON TREES
11 YOU GOT TO DO YOUR SHARE
12 I AM CONTROLLED BY YOUR LOVE
Helene
