Yes, STOP THE WEDDING (different to the Etta James song) is nice - I reckon "Paulette" is Paulette Williams, but would stand corrected.
I loved HOLD ME TIGHT since before I knew the music as Rocksteady, it was (and is) such a catchy tune.

...and there weren't too many other "Paulettes" on the JA music scene back then |
I get confused with this. I've seen her credited as Paulette Morgan, and I get her muddled up with Patsy Todd. I'm not convinced it's Paulette Williams. |
Paulette Morgan's early Ska efforts were high pitched, and sounded a lot like Patsy Todd....
This sounds like PM on "Stop the Wedding"....
Here's PW:

Using this tune as a comparison to "STW"...you can tell there are differences in vocal delivery....Williams has a more nasally sound...
In any case....I like all the singers!

Very true.....and, for me, all three lasses have distinctive vocal delivery....the fact that they were able to blend their voices together, to compliment one another so well...really flabbergasts me. Nora, and Cecile have voices, I wouldn't think, should pair well with voices that weren't similar to theirs....but they do, it works, and I like every Ebony Sisters tune I've come across....

In later years, Claudette Miller was a member of the Ebony Sisters. |
According to Chris Prete, Paulette was an Ebony Sister....but Pama did mis-credit often....
