Background singers

Post by Marcel »

Just wondering how Burt met Josie,John, Donna and Lisa?
Over more than the last decade Burt is working with them with his concerts all over the world and sometimes even use them for his recording projects.
I know that Burt works a very long time now with his band.
But just curieous about it?
Could someone explain it?



Kind Regards
Marcel :D

MArcel,
I'd be interested in knowing this myself...hope someone can answer!

By the way, been doing a study of backround singers on
late 50's-early 60's recording sessions...
seems a typical choir at that time would be 3 women and 3 men.
I believe the Drifters, during the Burt association had 3 girls,
of which Dionne was one...This, as you know, is where Burt met Dionne.
