Not the Ronettes song with the same title, but a #1 R&B smash and the followup to "Respect" for Aretha Franklin. Lady Soul had a real run of hits in the late 60's and early 70's. She came from a gospel background as her dad was a minister, and came a long way from her early secular recordings. Those produced one minor Top 40 effort, a 1961 remake of "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody" first done by Al Jolson in 1918.
