Poetic Obituaries: "If I'd have seen her [Barbara George]

in a club, I wouldn't have given her a second thought. But Jessie and Melvin (Lastie) convinced me to record her" (in June 1961).

"Barbara wrote 'I Know.' It was like a poem. She had a whole notebook full of poems at the time," [Harold] Battiste says.
