Barbara Jean English is a soul singer and songwriter born on August 22, 1946, in Sumpter, South Carolina. She was a member of the popular New Jersey girl group the Clickettes, recording numerous pop-soul tracks with them in the late 1950s and 1960s. After going solo in 1964, she returned in the 1970s to release two albums featuring lushly produced soul music, focusing on sensual ballads. In the late 1970s, she became involved in the disco scene and later transitioned to the hi-NRG dance music scene. Following a brief hiatus, she reunited with the Clickettes in the 1990s to tour the oldies circuit. Her song “I’m Living A Lie” has been included in several northern soul compilations, and she is noted for her great cover of Bacharach/David's “Don’t Make Me Over” and Francis Lai's “Love Story,” which are highlights of her work.
