During the ’60s, Columbia Records was putting out albums of relatively unknown female singers and announced the featured artists as “electrifying” to the buying public. They did it with Aretha Franklin when, in 1962, they released their second album, “The Electrifying”. And they did it again in October 1965 when they released another LP which, to my greatest dismay and utter surprise, didn’t succeed in bringing fame and glory to its protagonist. This LP went by the title “Introducing an Electrifying New Star”. The new star was Rheta Hughes, born as Henrietta Hughes in Dallas. Her first LP on Columbia (# CS-9185), presented her as the star she still had to become … but unfortunately never became. This album was to be her one and only LP for Columbia, and it didn’t suffice to earn her a place in Gary Marmorstein’s massive 600-page history of Columbia Records.
