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!
