Barbara George : I KNOW (YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE)
Barbara George began singing in her Baptist church choir as a teen and writing her own songs. Her friend Jessie Hill wrangled Barbara an audition with Harold Battiste's fledgling AFO label.
In June 1961, Battiste organized a split recording session for Barbara and fellow AFO artist Prince La La at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studios. Backed by New Orleans studio performers including cornetist Melvin Lastie, guitarist Roy Montrell, and drummer John Boudreaux, George cut the self-penned I KNOW (YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE), an up-tempo inspired by the traditional hymn JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE.
I KNOW (YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE) hit radio and retail in late 1961 and was a national 'crossover' hit, topping the U.S. R&B charts and reaching number three on the pop chart.
