It's unclear how much actual playing the Young-Holt Trio do on their debut LP Soulful Strut. The title track happens to be the instrumental track of "Am I the Same Girl," by Barbara Acklin, with Acklin's vocal removed and the piano raised in the mix. Likewise for "Please Sunrise," "Love Makes a Woman," and "Just Ain't No Love," all songs that Acklin recorded.
