She was a quiet pioneer. She had one of the first arp string ensembles (which she used for “Why,” “Prove Your Love,” and “Come A Little Bit Closer.”) I believe real strings were arranged for “Keep On Going”— but I could be wrong.
Tony, am I all wet or do I remember her arranging the strings for Keep on Going? And, saying something like her family would play strings when she was a child.
