Don't know who she is. I've dug around over the years trying to come up with any information on this Bamboo label 45. Though Sylvia Thomas likely was from Chicago. This was her only 45 and recording released. ' So Will I ' was the first 45 in a series of about 20 released on the label.
Contrary to the St Louis label address, this was a Chicago based soul label which existed from 1968 to 1971.
Whether this Chicago label started in St Louis then moved to Chicago, or simply pressed and distributed their 45 catalog out of St Louis is anyone's guess. The Bamboo label was owned by Yolanda Hardin, mother of Mel Harden - Mel Hardin of soul singing duet, Mel & Tim - 'Backfield In Motion' also on the Bamboo label.
The flip side is 'At Last'.
