Bramlett, Bonnie – Step By Step – Used LP

1980.  Still Sealed.  Cut Out with big saw cut.  Great sleeve!  1980s! I have no idea what Bonnie was doing in 1980...probably something good but maybe not...the 1980s were crazy so you never know.  I think I've only heard her 1973 debut, but if I recall correctly, it's fire, pure Memphis gold. This sleeve looks awful, but I bet it's a good album. And around this time, she punched Elvis Costello. She went from being the first white Inkette to punching Elvis Costello.

"Bonnie started her musical career at the age of fifteen singing around St. Louis. She performed as a backup singer for blues musicians such as Albert King and Little Milton, and R&B singer Fontella Bass. Bonnie was inspired by Tina Turner to pursue a singing career. In her teens, she saw Ike & Tina Turner perform at a club in nearby East St. Louis. Bonnie became the first white Ikette in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.  "I was 17 and I was white and my mother wouldn't let me stay any longer than that. I could only help them out, she said. So I just put on a dark wig because I'm blonde and Man Tan because I'm white and helped them out."
