Atlantic Years Remastered edition
Sweet Inspirations
Initially created from the ranks of a group of '60s
female background session singers that at one time
included Dionne Warwick, her sister Dee Dee, adopted
sister Judy Clay and "Just One Look" singer Doris Troy,
The Sweet Inspirations became an official Atlantic
recording artist after being the label's go-to studio
backup vocal group for many of the label's primary
artists including Aretha Franklin (with whom they toured
in 1967 and 1968), Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, The
Drifters, and Esther Phillips among others.
Consisting of Emily "Cissy" Houston (who took Dee
Dee Warwick's place when she launched her own solo
career in 1965), Sylvia Shemwell (sister of Judy Clay),
and gospel singers Estelle Brown and Myrna Smith (who knew Dionne and Dee Dee during their
teen years at New Hope Baptist Church), The Sweet Inspirations enjoyed their first hit single in 1967 with their
interpretation of The Staples Singers' "Why (Am I Treated So Bad)." The song was written for them by Dan Penn
and Spooner Oldham, who played on a number of the group's Memphis sessions.
In 1969, the group was hired by Elvis Presley as his vocal backup group and spent a number of years on
the road with him. Cissy Houston left the group in 1970 to pursue a solo career; Estelle, Sylvia, and Myrna
continued recording as a trio with Stax Records and RSO Records.
The Atlantic Years presents 37 tracks, including the A and B sides of the group's 18 singles (with the 1970
hit, "Gotta Find Me A Brand New Lover," originally released as Pt. 1 & 2, combined into one track), one cut
unearthed from the Atlantic vaults in 2004 and previously only available on an out-of-print US compilation, and
three previously unreleased sides (including a six-minute-plus medley of "Little Green Apples," Aretha Franklin's
"Think," and The Beatles' "Something"). The 2-CD set includes photos and notes by SoulMusic Records' David
Nathan, with remastering by Mike Milchner of SonicVision. Quite possibly the greatest backup vocal group of
them all, finally in the spotlight!
