"Wedlock Is A Padlock" by Laura Lee
Laura Lee is hands-down one of the most underrated soul singers of her time. During the late 60s and early 70s, this gifted vocalist from Chicago was belting out some awesome tunes, many with lyrics to empower women. She only scored a single top 40 hit when "Women's Love Rights" landed at #36 in 1971. How songs like "Wedlock Is A Padlock," "Crumbs Off The Table," and "Rip Off" didn't soar into the top 10, I'll never understand.
