The Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer LaVerne Baker had a string of R&B hits during the 1950s and early 60s. The favorite lover for Ms. Baker to sing about was Jim Dandy. In the forgotten gem featured here, she mentions not only "Tiny Tim", but also Stagger Lee and Charlie Brown, all of them ill-fated lovers of the Classic R&B Balad. These guys either died for love, or killed for it. - Enjoy the one and only LaVerne Baker at her very best, and please take a moment to rate and comment.
