    Make It Real 45 (1971)

    Notes Of Gold ‎

Killer southern-style female funk 45 by Jewel Meriwether a.k.a. Betty Adams.  "Make It Real" features the piano wizardry of her brother Roy (crate digging heads known him for his solo output like 1973's Nubian Lady).  Adams' Aretha-like gospel lines make this is an easy sure shot for the club.
