Carla Benson is one of the most recorded background vocalists in music history and after over 50 years, she’s ready to tell her story.
“Journey Into Love” is Carla’s self-published memoir about her time with her late cousin Barbara Ingram and late best friend Evette Benton as the dynamic backing vocals trio “The Sweethearts of Sigma.
The Sweethearts were an important part of Philly Soul, singing with everyone from Teddy Pendergrass to Patti LaBelle.
“Journey” also covers the behind-the-scenes stuff, including relationships, breakups and much more.
We were honored to have Carla join us on our podcast to talk about “Journey Into Love” and share some great stories, including the background noises on Major Harris’ 1975 hit “Love Won’t Let Me Wait.”
“I wanted to kick her behind,” Carla said of Barbara’s request to direct her through the sounds. “I told her ‘You don’t need me to direct nothin’!”
