"I've Got A Feeling" by Baby Washington
Born in South Carolina and raised in Harlem, Baby Washington got her start as a member of a vocal group called The Hearts. The Hearts landed a single minor chart appearance in 1963 when "Dear Abby" reached #94. In parallel, Baby Washington was trying to jumpstart a solo career that never quite took off for reasons that defy all logic. Washington only managed a single Top 40 appearance when the ballad "That's How Heartaches Are Made" landed at #40 in 1963. She scored a few other Top 100 entries but nothing that delivered the attention she deserved. Her short chart career ended in 1965 when "Only Those In Love" stalled at #73. "I've Got A Feeling" is a taste of what the world has missed.
