1960s Gold Barbara Lynn Whatd I Say

See More Videos From stephensmith

This is a rare clip of Barbara Lynn, soul singer from the 1960s, showing she could also play a mean guitar. The song, "What'd I Say," was made famous by Ray Charles. I think Lynn does a great job with it; I love the sax being played by one of her back-up musicians here (why does modern rock have so little saxophone in it?). Barbara Lynn was born as Barbara Lynn Ozone in 1942 in Beaumont, Texas. She had her first big hit in 1962 with "You'll Lose A Good Thing" on Jamie records.
