Born Samantha Owens in Liverpool, Jones began her recording career in The Vernon Girls, a female singing group affiliated with the Vernon Football Pools company; they created a popular Beatles tribute album in 1964 with producer Charles Blackwell, who launched Jones's solo career that same year. Blackwell producer a debut solo LP for Ascot in 1968; two years later, Larry Page released sophomore set 'A Girl Named Sam', with Austrian wunderkind Mark Wirtz casting her in the broad realm of pop, though most of the songs describe romantic failures. The album thus has a tongue-in-cheek cover of Burt Bacharach's 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' and credible renditions of Aretha's 'You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman' and Jackie DeShannon's 'Put A Little Love In Your Heart'. Includes one bonus track. 180 gram, green vinyl.
