Thelma Jones - Second Chance-The Complete Barry! and Columbia Recordings

Second Chance offers full proof that all that prevented Thelma Jones from becoming a full fledged Soul superstar was bad luck. Just as her record the House That Jack Built was shaping up to be massive in 1968, Aretha Franklin covered it and had the hit that should have been Thelma's. Despite having a radio hit with the well-remembered 'Salty Tears' in 1976, she found herself swimming against the tide of Disco and was unable to place any of her Columbia recordings on the charts. But what Thelma lacked in chart presence she more than made up for in soul - and here's all the proof you will ever need of that. Writers and producers here that will excite all true soul fans include Sam Dees, Teddy Randazzo, Robert Banks, Bert de Coteaux and many more top-tier talents who were only too happy to bring something to the table for Thelma Jones.
