P. P. Arnold - The Immediate Sessions (60th Anniversary)

Patricia Ann Cole (aka P.P. Arnold) was born and raised in the Watts neighbourhood of south Los Angeles in 1946. At the age of just seventeen she joined the Ike and Tina Turner Revue as an Ikette and began a life-long music career.

In 1966 she toured the UK with the Revue supporting the Rolling Stones where she befriended Mick Jagger. It was his suggestion that she relocate to London and sign to Immediate Records. In 1967 She released her debut album First Lady Of Immediate resulting in three hit singles. The following year she released Kafunta and the hit single ‘Angel Of The Morning’.
