British singer Lorraine Silver issued just two singles – neither of which was a hit at the time – but she later found popularity on the northern soul scene when her pounding Lost summer love was rediscovered. She was born in London in 1952 and raised in west London. In 1965, at the age of 13, she recorded a version of Brian Hyland’s Sealed with a kiss in a booth in a branch of Woolworth’s on Oxford Street, central London. She took the disc to Pye Records – home of such stars as Sandie Shaw and Petula Clark – and asked that somebody listen to it.
