(From 11/12/2019). Singer/guitarist Barbara Lynn was a rare commodity during her heyday. Not only was she a female instrumentalist (one of the very first to hit the charts), but she also played left-handed and even wrote some of her own material. Lynn’s music often straddled the line between blues and Southern R&B, and since much of her early work — including the number one R&B hit “You’ll Lose a Good Thing” — was recorded in New Orleans, it bore the sonic imprint of the Crescent City.
Here she is singing that hit. I wonder how much that left-handed Stratocaster she’s playing is worth nowadays??
The bottom video is from 2016 — 50 years later in Austin, TX. Enjoy!!
