| | Description: | Initially created from the ranks of a group of â??60s
female background session singers that at one time
included Dionne Warwick, her sister Dee Dee, adopted
sister Judy Clay and â??Just One Lookâ? singer Doris Troy,
The Sweet Inspirations became an official Atlantic
recording artist after being the labelâ??s go-to studio
backup vocal group for many of the labelâ??s primary
artists including Aretha Franklin (with whom they toured
in 1967 and 1968), Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, The
Drifters, and Esther Phillips among others.
Consisting of Emily â??Cissyâ? Houston (who took Dee
Dee Warwickâ??s place when she launched her own solo
career in 1965), Sylvia Shemwell (sister of Judy Clay),
and gospel singers Estelle Brown and Myrna Smith (who knew Dionne and Dee Dee during their
teen years at New Hope Baptist Church), The Sweet Inspirations enjoyed their first hit single in 1967 with their
interpretation of The Staples Singersâ?? â??Why (Am I Treated So Bad).â? The song was written for them by Dan Penn
and Spooner Oldham, who played on a number of the groupâ??s Memphis sessions.
In 1969, the group was hired by Elvis Presley as his vocal backup group and spent a number of years on
the road with him. Cissy Houston left the group in 1970 to pursue a solo career; Estelle, Sylvia, and Myrna
continued recording as a trio with Stax Records and RSO Records.
The Atlantic Years presents 37 tracks, including the A and B sides of the groupâ??s 18 singles (with the 1970
hit, â??Gotta Find Me A Brand New Lover,â? originally released as Pt. 1 & 2, combined into one track), one cut
unearthed from the Atlantic vaults in 2004 and previously only available on an out-of-print US compilation, and
three previously unreleased sides (including a six-minute-plus medley of â??Little Green Apples,â? Aretha Franklinâ??s
â??Think,â? and The Beatlesâ?? â??Somethingâ?). The 2-CD set includes photos and notes by SoulMusic Recordsâ?? David
Nathan, with remastering by Mike Milchner of SonicVision. Quite possibly the greatest backup vocal group of
them all, finally in the spotlight! - All tracks originally released solely as Atlantic single sides except:
Tracks 1-1, 1-3, 1-7 to 1-12 were released on The Sweet Inspirations (Atlantic LP 8155), 1967.
Tracks 1-2, 1-5, 1-13 to 1-18 were released on What The World Needs Now Is Love (Atlantic LP 8201), 1968.
Tracks 2-1 to 2-6 were released on Sweets For My Sweet (Atlantic LP 8225), 1969.
Tracks 2-7 to 2-11 were released on Sweet Sweet Soul (Atlantic LP 8253), 1970.
