MARY LOVE
YOU TURNED MY BITTER INTO SWEET
There were many soul singers like Mary Love in the 1960s, very talented, competent performers who were nonetheless pushed to the back of the pack because they lacked exceptional material, or enough personality to truly distinguish them from a crowded field. After doing some session work as a teenager in Los Angeles, she got her chance to cut half a dozen singles for the Modern label in the mid-'60s.
These were decent, commercial soul records, and somewhat less pop-oriented than Motown. She managed to get hold of some material by noted writers Frank Wilson and Ashford-Simpson, but only managed one minor R&B hit for Modern, "Move a Little Closer," which made number 48 in 1966.
Love revisited the lower reaches of the R&B Top 50 with "The Hurt Is Just Beginning" for Roulette in 1968; mysteriously, she only issued one more 45 for the label, and that didn't come out until 1971. [Richie Unterberger- ALL MUSIC GUIDE]
This single was her first and is on Modern. It hit the shops in April of 1965 and pairs up the tender soul of “You Turned My Bitter Into Sweet” with “I’m In Your Hands.”
