Estelle Brown, the last living member of Elvis' female backing group the Sweet Inspirations, turned 83 today, congratulations!
In 1967, The Sweets contributed as a backing choir to Van Morrison's hit 'Brown Eyed Girl'. Later that same year, the group produced their first own recordings with Atlantic Records. In 1968, two further LPs followed, as well as their collaboration on Jimi Hendrix's 'Electric Ladyland' and Dusty Springfield's 'Dusty in Memphis'. During the subsequent period, they were the backing vocalists for Elvis Presley and appeared in the documentary film 'Elvis – That's the Way It Is' among others.
