P.P. Arnold

P.P. Arnold is a powerhouse soul singer with a career spanning over five decades, blending American R&B roots with British rock charm. Born Patricia Ann Arnold in Los Angeles, she first gained attention as one of Ike & Tina Turner’s Ikettes in the mid-1960s before launching her solo career in the UK. Her smoky, emotive voice turned Cat Stevens’ "The First Cut Is the Deepest" into a timeless classic in 1967, and she became a fixture of the Swinging London scene, collaborating with icons like the Small Faces, Rod Stewart, and Eric Clapton. Despite industry challenges, she’s remained a beloved figure, reinventing herself across genres while maintaining her soulful core.

Recent years have seen P.P. Arnold celebrating her legacy through vibrant live performances, including the *Live in Liverpool* series and heartfelt holiday tracks like *It Won’t Be Christmas Without You*. Albums like *The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold* and remixes such as *Dreaming Of You (WTS House Remix)* prove she’s still pushing boundaries, effortlessly connecting her storied past with modern sounds. A true soul survivor, she continues to inspire new generations with her resilience and velvet-and-grit vocals.
