The Teri Nelson Group

Although the name suggests otherwise, this was not a group. By contrast it was named for Teri Nelson, a young female vocalist from Harlem, New York, who was managed by [a=Steve Camhi]. During the late 1960s, the [l=Super K Production] company offered the then eighteen year old soloist a one year contract. After recording a few singles, Nelson's studio sessions were compiled into an album, which the [l=Kama Sutra] label released in 1968—purportedly without her knowledge—and promoted it as a group effort (comparatively, the artists pictured alongside Nelson on [url=http://www.discogs.com/The-Teri-Nelson-Group-Sweet-Talkin-Teri/release/2649299]the album's cover[/url] are backing vocalists from the recording sessions). Nelson withdrew from her arrangement thereafter.
