THAT'S HOW HEARTACHES ARE MADE * BABY WASHINGTON * SUE 783 * USA

Justine 'Baby' Washington, a.k.a. Jeanette, was born 13 November 1940, Bamberg, South Carolina, she grew up in Harlem and it was there, in 1956, that she started recording with The Hearts, the group included Rex Garvin on piano. Her first solo record came a year later on the New York, independent label, J&S, owned by Zell Sanders. The above was her first British issue on the, some say, bootleg, Sue label, a label which became a favourite in the small discothèques (the word 'discothèques' was new then and had a lot of cache) in and around Soho, London.
