This powerhouse female vocalist was the main stay of the James Brown crew during the early/ mid 70’s. Her vocals were characterized by a set of pipes that many headline acts would be proud of. This selection shows her Funk credentials on grooves like the classic ‘Think’, ‘Rock Me Again, Again, And Again’, ‘How Long Can I Keep It Up’ and ‘Take Me Just As I Am’ plus the wicked take of James’ own ‘Give It Up Turn It Loose’. Lyn covered popular Soul tunes as well ad anyone and her version of Jean Knight’s ‘Mr Big Stuff’ is awesome. Also try her spin on the O’Jays ‘Backstabbers’, Isaac Hayes’ ‘Do Your Thing’ and the 2 Step ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’. Sadly Ms Collins has passed away, but this ‘Best Of’ is a fitting tribute.
