Gloria Irving, a female singer born in Chicago, recorded "Daughter (That's Your Red Wagon)," an answer song to Ruth Brown's "Mama (He Treats Your Daughter Mean)," as a singer for the Sax Cali Orchestra, on States Records, which reached number 8 on the R&B charts in 1953. This is a reissue of the only single under her own name, released by Cobra in 1957. The A-side "I Need a Man" is simply the best. It's a melancholy zundoko rumba blues song with Irving's lively singing. Fripp's "For You and Only You," which is similar to Otis Rush's "Violent Love," also written by Willie Dixon, is also worth listening to.
