Lorraine Silver's singing career began in 1965 when she recorded an a cappella version of "Sealed With A Kiss" at a DIY singing booth in Woolworths in Oxford Street. The song attracted the attention of PYE Records who signed her for a two-record deal. Her first single was a version of Shelley Fabares "Lost Summer Love" . Although this never charted it would go on to become massively popular at The Wigan Casino on Northern Soul nights in the1970s . The Single was reissued on the Casino Classics label , selling in excess of 30,000 copies. Silver however , remained unaware of the song's popularity and her fame within the Northern Soul scene until 2003.
Her second single was an original song "The Happy Faces" with a cover of The Supremes "When The Love Light Starts Shining Thru His Eyes"on the B-Side. Neither single sold well at the time and silver's contract was not renewed.
