From the MCRFB news archives: 1967

NEW YORK — Kim Weston’s Detroit sound came across loud and clear at the Riverboat here Tuesday night (April 18), as the recently signed MGM artist delivered a mixed bag of soul and standards.

Miss Weston’s opening number, “I Got What You Need,” was easily the most effective of the evening. It’s a hard-driving pop song with R&B overtones, and it’s also the title of her first MGM single. The material and delivery speak well of Miss Weston’s Motown background.

She demonstrated power and range in “The Man That Got Away,” and a good dramatic sense in the title song from the Broadway musical, “Walking Happy.”

But Miss Weston is strongest with the Detroit sound, although she’s versatile enough to handle show tunes and standards. END
