The Butterflies (RAB)


Hi everybody. In 1966 an all female group called The Butterflies released a very cool 45 on the RAB record label. Band members included Ellen Cohen (Lead Singer, Vox, Bass, Violin, Piano), Joanne Georgio (Keyboards),  Renee Loger (Drums) and Maidie (Ruth) Seigal- Liberti (Guitar, Vox). The lead singer lets it rip with tuff vocals on both songs. "I'll Still Love You Anyway" has the nice garage sound, while on flip side the band does a strong version of the Animals "House of the Rising Sun". Thank you Ruth for the neat photos and additional information about the band.
