Artist: The Jones Girls
Album: The Jones Girls
Biggest hit from Detroit-based sister trio the Jones Girls, taken from their 1979 album of the same name. Brenda, Valerie, & Shirley Jones were backup singers for the likes of Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross. "You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" went to #38 on the Billboard charts, breaking the top 40, and going top 5 on the R&B charts.
They had a series of lesser singles including "Nights Over Egypt," which has become a popular urban radio cult hit, getting more plays than their official biggest charter.
Shirley Jones would end up going solo, and had a #1 R&B hit with the track "Do You et Enough Love," from the top-ten debut "Always in the Mood."
I've only recently discovered "You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else," and love it's slow-burn vibe. Dig.
Enjoy.
