The Whyte Boots

Biography

In reality, The Whyte Boots did not exist, being a construct of Brill Building hit girls Lori Burton and Pam Sawyer - writers of hits for the likes of The Young Rascals and a slew of Motown acts, they were among the few female writers who produced and arranged their own acts. In the wake of their having written some chartbusters and the newsworthy scandal over "Nightmare", Mercury decided to give Lori, who had released a few singles along the way (many of them Northern Soul staples today) a shot at an album, BREAKOUT!
