Reparata & the Delrons

Known in the UK for the 1968 hit Captain of Your Ship, but never really big in their native US, Reparata & the Delrons were a surprisingly long-lived girl group, forming in the early 60s with the major part of their career coming to an end around a decade later.

They leave behind a notable selection of music ranging from the bittersweet teenage ballads of the early years, through more upbeat northern soul sounds, to some more quirky and stylised arrangements towards the end of their career.

The six tracks on this radio show aim to give a taste of what the group were about, so listen and enjoy!

2.		Captain of Your Ship	1968
3.		Weather Forecast	1968

Jackie Trent

I thought for this show I'd put the spotlight on just one artist, and the first one I thought of is Jackie Trent.

In the context of her long career, Jackie has been far more active behind the scenes as a lyricist and composer, and was of course famous for being married to Tony Hatch. Consequently her career as a singer tends to be overlooked, and I thought it would be good to present a short selection showcasing her vocal talents.

The four songs featured here include her one big hit from 1965 "Where Are You Now", but I think you'll agree Jackie had a great voice, and hopefully she'll be as much a discovery for you as she has been for me.

1.		Jackie Trent - Where Are You Now	1965
2.		Jackie Trent - You Baby	1966
3.		Jackie Trent - There Goes My Love	1966
4.		Jackie Trent - Hollywood	1968
5.		Keith Mansfield - Powerhouse Pop	1969
