Boomkat Product Review:.First ever anthology of Southern soul legend Wendy Rene including 11 singles, 9 rarities + 2 unreleased songs and notes by Andria Lisle interviewing Wendy Rene, plus unseen photos and original label art. 'Born Mary Frierson in Memphis, Tennessee, home of Stax Records, Wendy Rene was christened by Otis Redding on signing to Stax as a teenager in 1963. Back then, she and brother Johnny Frierson, both singers at the Church of God In Christ, were determined to make it in music. Forming singing quartet The Drapels with two friends, they took the bus to 926 E.
McLemore Avenue, auditioned for Stax co-founder Jim Stewart, and won a deal on the spot. 'As soon as we finished with the Drapels' songs and the rest of the band were going to the bus stop, I showed Mr.
Stewart my songs,' recalls Rene. Stewart found two acts in one, and Mary had two contracts with Stax.
Both Drapels and Wendy began recording with the greats - that's The MGs on the group's 'Young Man', Booker T. Jones playing organ on 'After Laughter' and Steve Cropper playing guitar on the dance craze-inspired 'Bar-B-Q', the success of which caused Wendy - then a teen bride - to leave school. The Drapels dissolved almost as quickly as Wendy's first marriage, partly due to the attention lavished on youngest member Wendy's solo career. But a real hit eluded the singer, and in 1967, with a growing family with second husband and Stax employee James Cross, Wendy decided to retire from the business. 'I wanted a baby to hold and coochie-coo to, and I didn't want to miss any more time away from my kids,' she says.

Wendy was due to perform one last show with Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays, but changed her mind at the last minute. It was an auspicious decision - that weekend, Redding and four Bar-Kays died when their plane crashed in Lake Monona.
Mary mourned her friends but not her music career. She taught harmony to her children and she sang in church, not in the studio. Then, in 1993, something strange happened - a friend of her son heard Wu Tang Clan's 'Tearz' on the radio. As new generations of artists have rediscovered Wendy Rene's work, they have touched her life in various ways: Alicia Keys's remake of 'After Laughter.' , 'Where Do We Go From Here', for example, helped pay for her current home. Keys tried to meet up with Rene when she played in Memphis.

'I wasn't able to do it,' says Wendy, revealing little. In September 2010, Wendy Rene returned to live performance, albeit very briefly, playing a set at Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans. It was to be a bittersweet occasion - Wendy's beloved brother Johnny had died suddenly in June 2010 and performing brought back a flood of memories. 'I was so choked up I wasn't able to perform like I wanted,' she admits.
Though her career was brief, Wendy Rene left behind a thrilling catalogue of classic soul. Here, Light In The Attic gives it the archive treatment it richly deserves.

Payment Security We take the security of our website and of your transactions extremely seriously. We encrypt all traffic involving personal data with industry-standard SSL certificates and we are also PCI compliant - meaning that we follow all current data security standards and undergo weekly scans monitoring our security status. Additionally, we do not store any card details at all, all payments are handled using a system of Tokenisation which is an industry-standard method of secure payment handling. When you place an order with us payment is either handled via your Paypal account or if you choose to pay by credit/debit card we create a 'Token' with your payment details which is stored by the Bank payment gateway. When you return to make a purchase it basically reactivates the 'Token' so no details need to be entered again and those details are not stored by us. Shipping FAQs Free Shipping: We offer free postage on orders over £50.00 to the UK sent via Royal Mail.To qualify for free postage the order must be sent as one package.
Therefore, all items must be in stock or you should be happy to wait until all items become available to ship so they can be sent as one package. Downloads and Gift Vouchers do not count towards free shipping. Please note that Pre-Orders do not count towards free shipping as their release dates are liable to fluctuate.
Stock Status If your order contains items that have different estimated shipping dates (for example, ‘available to pre-order’, ‘in stock’, ‘available to ship in 1-3 days’) you will be given an option either to wait for everything to become available to ship in one package, or to ship each item as soon as it becomes available. Stock arrives at the office throughout the day so the stock status of items on the website can change several times a day. Important Note: all items that are not currently displaying as In Stock need to be ordered in from our suppliers and the estimated shipping dates are only an indication of when we expect those items to come into stock. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately. Premium Packaging At checkout you are able to select a premium packaging option for a fee of £1.50. We pack all of our orders using appropriate packaging, however when you pick this option we use a wider cruciform offering additional protection if you have a particularly heavy-handed postman. UK and International Shipping Options We offer two services: 1. First Class Royal Mail - for UK and for International orders: The package will be delivered by your national postal service.
Royal Mail sets limits on the weight of packages, so if the order becomes too heavy to ship in one package the order will be split into two or more packages. The packages will be marked accordingly, for example, if an order has to be sent over two packages the packages would be labelled ‘1 of 2’ and ‘2 of 2’. Parcelforce tracked courier service: This comprises a flat box fee for UK (and some European countries), and a sliding scale based on weight for other countries. Parcelforce is a Monday - Friday service.
Packages sent via Parcelforce can be tracked here: Parcelforce can only ship to PO boxes in certain countries, details can be found once you have made your country selection at checkout. Once you have added items to your crate you can select your country and choose either to send everything in one package or to ship as soon as the items become available. At this point the total given is a guide to the cost and more shipping configurations are available once you have logged in and proceeded to checkout. At the checkout you will still be able to add or take away items from the crate and change/compare your shipping options. Pre-orders are treated as separate packages to items that are either in stock or available to order. If pre-orders share the same release date then they can be ordered and shipped together. However pre-order release dates are liable to change, if you have ordered two pre-orders with the same date to ship together and then one release date gets pushed back, we will ship the available pre-order straight away and the second pre-order as soon as it becomes available with no extra shipping charge. If you choose to ship your order across more than one package you can select the Royal Mail service for one package and Parcelforce courier for the other.
Exceptions:. if an individual item weighs more than 2kg and you are outside of the UK the package must be sent via courier as Royal Mail sets a 2kg limit on packages. Royal Mail covers postage all countries, however Parcelforce is not available in every country. Missing Packages If an order does not arrive, we can issue a replacement package. In the UK we consider a package to be missing after 15 working days. Most international orders are considered missing after 25 working days with the exception of France, South America and Africa - packages to these destinations are considered missing after 60 working days.
Before we can issue a replacement, customers must have checked with their local depot/sorting office to see if their package is awaiting pick up. If we think there is an issue with the shipping address, or that packages are being stolen in the post, we reserve the right to refuse future orders to these addresses. Insurance We automatically add an insurance supplement to orders over £30. Orders between £30 - £49.99 are charged a 60p insurance supplement. Orders over £50 are charged a £3 insurance supplement. Returned Packages If a package is returned to us because of an incomplete address, or because it was not collected from a local depot, we will have to charge you again in order to re-send it. We will get in touch with you before any package is re-sent.
