Loveables comprised of 3 talented young ladies previously in the Jive Five including Barbara and Shirley Sullivan and Kim Lewis. Like many artists from their time, they grew up singing in Church prior to giving the big leagues a chance. The group was set out to do big things and had all the potential in the world, but the Loveables only saw moderate success during their career. This 45 showcases one of their more successful hits “Just Beyond My Fingertips”.

You won’t find much information about Live Experience when browsing the web, which only makes this 45 all the more special. In fact, there is only one other 45 from the E&B label by Live Experience called Disco Joints Pt 1 & 2. As you’ll hear, “Connection” and “Bed Time Story” are two very different tracks given their tempos and feels, but there’s definitely a psychedelic vibe heard from both. Check it out!
