The legacy of ”Superbirds".
*** "Superbirds", three soulful background singers from Sweden, including Karin Stigmark, Lotta Hedlund & Beverly Glenn.
Their first recording was made in 1971. They were the first in Sweden to back up artists and songs that sounded like soul & r'n'b. (Before Swedes knew what that was).
Beverly and Lotta came from the US in the mid 60s and brought gospel (the foundation of soul). The rest is history. ❤️🎶🎤
"Cry no more tears", by Sweet Chariots from 2001 was the last recording featuring "Superbirds",
