Barbara Lynn : You'll Lose A Good
Thing
With her parent's consent, music producer
Huey P. Meaux brought Lynn to New Orleans to record at the
legendary Cosimo's studio. Lynn cut a few singles for the Jamie
label with the understanding that if none hit, she was to
attend college instead of pursuing music right off the
bat.
In 1962, her self-penned ballad "You'll Lose a Good Thing"
became a national hit, reaching the pop Top Ten and climbing
all the way to number one on the R&B charts.
Her first album (of the same name) was also released that
year, featuring ten of her originals among its 12 tracks. Lynn
continued to record for Jamie up through 1965, producing
follow-up R&B hits like "You're Gonna Need Me" and "Oh Baby
(We Got a Good Thing Goin')," the latter of which was recorded
by the Rolling Stones in 1965.
