Jean Carne

Jean Carne's voice has this operatic reach that most soul singers don't even attempt, and on "Don't Let It Go to Your Head" she uses every inch of it. The Philly International-adjacent arrangements give her room — strings swell, but they never bury her. This one got overshadowed by the bigger Philly Soul names on bigger labels that year. Her range alone should've made her a household name.
