Edna Echols

 

Edna Echols shared a 45 on Mitchell with Gary Wicks, but the 45 that Holly Springs, MS based label owner William B Mitchell put out on his Vimla imprint is better known. The lively “Keep On Walking” is strong southern soul, but I prefer Edna’s lovely deep clear tones on the tuneful ballad Promise Me Love which allows her to show off her fine sense of timing and sensitivity. As far as I know this was her only secular 45.

 

But Edna was still singing gospel music in this millennium I’m very pleased to say. You can catch her with the Heavenly Echoes here. The song was penned by Dwight E Mitchell – is he related to William B Mitchell?
