Evidence We Live In An Uncaring Universe

By: DThompson | in: Music |

Pearl Woods was 28 years old and recording with Little Richard’s backup band The Upsetters. She could sing as well as any Motown star, with soul and feeling, and Sipping Sorrow was a great catchy number. This was her ticket, now the world would know her name, and her talent.
Sipping Sorrow was released in 1961 on Charge Records and promptly zoomed off into the ether, unheard and uncared for. Sometimes life is cruel to the manifestly deserving.

Or you can argue that the world is great for caring enough to release and support all the other amazing talent that emerged via Motown records.

And you could also argue that Pearl’s great song did eventually come to light, just in the early 80’s, about twenty years too late for her to have the career she deserved. I love you Pearl!
