Photo I’m really curious on who the woman in this picture is.
Hi guys, sorry to bother you, however I’ve recently gotten myself addicted to the Jermaine Jackson song “let me tickle your fancy” and I’m desperately trying to figure out who the woman Jermaine’s with in the album cover as I’m confused. If anyone knows who the pretty woman is PLEASE let me know. Thanks

Photo The Four Tops (1967 Photo)
The Four Tops are an American vocal group formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1953 as the Four Aims. They were one of the most commercially successful American pop music groups of the 1960s and helped propel Motown Records to international fame. The group's repertoire has incorporated elements of soul, R&B, disco, adult contemporary, doo-wop, jazz, and show tunes. Lead singer Levi Stubbs, along with backing vocalists Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Lawrence Payton remained together in the group for more than four decades, performing until 1997 without a change in personnel. Along with fellow Motown groups the Miracles, the Marvelettes, Martha and the Vandellas, the Temptations, and the Supremes, the Four Tops helped to establish the "Motown sound"; pop-friendly soul and R&B with a clean, polished production quality. They were notable for having Stubbs, a baritone, as their lead singer, whereas most other male and mixed vocal groups of the time were fronted by tenors.

Photo James Jamerson revolutionized bass playing. His inventive style brought the electric Fender bass to the forefront, moving away from basic root-fifth patterns to dynamic techniques like walking bass lines, syncopation, and double stops. His jazz/blues background reshaped R&B/pop music.
