Description
Bernadine or Berna-Dean Washington recorded seven singles for producer Dave Bartholomew in New Orleans in the early 60s. A protegee of Earl King, her final single was released on Los Angeles' GNP Crescendo label in 1964 and is stylistically similar to her previous Imperial and Post 45s. 'Don't Try To Tell Me' and 'Laughing On The Outside' were cut for GNP but the company never followed up on her 'This Is The City' single. Both tracks are in a more soulful style than her released sides and are attracting much attention on the current retro R&B scene and with the rare soul crowd also. This is their first public hearing.
