Arriving in England as an Ikette with the Ike & Tina review in the
mid-60's, PP was spotted by
Mick Jagger who immediately got her signed to Immediate Records. Several huge
hits
followed, ‘First Cut is The Deepest’, ‘Angel Of The Morning’, and so
on… PP became one of
the iconic faces of the 60's.
It was around 1968 PP started recording an album with Barry Gibb and cut
many tracks before
he returned to the Bee Gees and Eric Clapton took over and recorded two more
songs. Eric
called in his Delaney and Bonnie band who later became Derek and The Dominos,
along with
Rita Coolidge and soul singer Doris Troy. The end result was phenomenal, they
recorded songs
written by Steve Winwood, Van Morrison and Jagger, Richards. These recordings
were left
sitting on shelves for many years due to industry politics.
It became her mission to let these recordings see the light of day, and not
let this incredible
piece of music history stay buried. Now these recordings are being released for
the first time!
