Saturday Soul: Barbara Lynn, "You'll Miss a Good Thing"
File under: Girls with guitars.
Seeing a sista rock out in formal attire had to be just as surprising to early 60's audiences as it is to us today, but for Barbara Lynn it was just another day at work.
Here she is performing her 1962 hit, "You'll Miss a Good Thing," which was later popularly covered by Soul icons Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, and Tejano/Country legend, Freddy Fender.
If you pass this one up without a click, you might be missing a good thing...
