Doris Troy: Stretchin' Out and Gettin' Ahead
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, April 1974
AS WE promised in the last 'TALA', we're gonna be checking out a few of the American artists who have decided to make their home on these shores and there is no more appropriate to kick off with than Miss Doris Troy who has now spent some five years here. Over that time, Doris has established a strong name for herself without having as yet achieved the chart recognition she's been working towards.
