After a comment from BillyNo I decided to delve into some more Northern Soul, and this will played over 3 nights on my radio show in Thailand. no track list as to many goodies here. One of the artists bio follows
Cindy Scott a/k/a Sundray Tucker (born March 23) is an American singer. She is the eldest daughter of Ira Tucker (of the Dixie Hummingbirds) and Louise Tucker. Her sister is Lynda Laurence, formerly of The Supremes and currently of the Former Ladies of The Supremes, and her brother is Ira Tucker Jr.
Sundray also performed under the name Cindy Scott. Her most notable single was the Northern Soul classic ‘I Love You Baby’, backed with ‘In Your Spare Time’. The track has a great stomping beat and sounds very much like a Motown produced Kim Weston styled single.
In 1967 Sundray briefly joined the Three Degrees and performed alongside Fayette Pickney and Helen Scott for touring purposes. It is believed that no recorded songs by the group with Sundray exist.
Sundray joined her sister Lynda and third member Terri Hendricks on the road as back-up vocalists for Stevie Wonder on a tour to promote ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours’ in late 1969. The group were known as The Third Generation, which in turned became Stevie’s resident backing group, Wonderlove. Sundray’s stay with this group was relatively short-lived as she joined Ernie Terrell and the Heavyweights as lead vocalist, replacing departing member Jean Terrell.
