Roberta Martin was often content to share leads on a song with her younger protegés, and the best of those duets were recorded during the group's tenure at Apollo Records.
On this recording from 1951, Martin shares lead with one of the fiercest soloists Chicago ever bred, the late great Myrtle Scott. Her voice was captured on record on less than a handful of songs, but her brief solo on "Where Can I Go" gives listeners a taste of the experience her live peformance must have been.
