If I could sound this funky every time I want to weep, man, I’d be crying all the time!! With very little out there about this powerful powerhouse vocalist, it’s a shame this voice was only ever recorded for one 45!..at least, that’s all I can find!
Ola V. Harper recorded one single in an all-too-brief career. With a voice like this, what was she thinking?? I Wanna Weep, b/w Resisting was issued on Louisiana-based label, Jewel Records in 1968. Penned and produced by bluesman Peppermint Harris, I Wanna Weep is a pleasing slice of heady soul. Standard, in that its orientated around a jaded heart, its pained and unravelling woes are delivered in such a way that makes your own heart quiver? This lady had a beautiful, big voice and its a shame that she only had a small chance to share that! Check it out above…
