RIP Barbara acklin 😢I never get tired of listening to your song entitled ' Am I the same girl?'

Barbara’s music never went under the radar to many of us here in the Uk. Still gives me goosebumps hearing that voice. Love makes a woman. Listening to it earlier today. It just gets better. Greetings from UK

Being a youngster hanging around Brunswick Studios I got a chance to see The Genius of Barbara Acklin up close and personal more importantly I got a chance to produce and orchestrate one of her last compositions "Havent I Heard that Line Before" performed by the great Gene Chandler in a duet with Miss Shawn Christopher THANK you Barbara for all your contributions to not only the music Community here in Chicago but the world

My mom had her albums and listen to her songs and I grew up listening to it too. Now I play it while cleaning up the house with my husband and kids.

How does such a beautiful voice go under the radar. I don’t understand how she wasn’t known as a world class artist. Truly a mystery
