PP Arnold is a Legend!
Since she became London’s First Lady of Soul back in the 60’s, she is still going strong! The term “well established” might be appropriate for some artists but it barely begins to cover the career of the phenomenal P.P. Arnold, whose records and performances are now in their Sixth decade. Her consistently excellent music covers multiple genres, her high-profile admirers and collaborators are plentiful.
She is one of the iconic faces of London's Swinging 60's. Arriving in England as an Ikette with The Ike & Tina Revue, PP was spotted by Mick Jagger who immediately convinced Andrew Loog Oldham to sign her to his Immediate record label. Several huge hits followed, the best-known being her original version of The First Cut Is The Deepest, Angel Of The Morning and (If You Think You're Groovy). From her early day at Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label (where she “became one of us” according to Andrew) P.P. Arnold has worked with some of the biggest names in music. In the 1960s
And now she's live at The Royal Hotel celebrating the Whitby Soul weekend that hosts Whitby Soul Club on Friday night the saviours of Soul - The Commitments film and band play on Saturday and to cap the weekend off PP Arnold reminds us of the great originals.
