„Two original Classic Soul Albums on One CD” sorozat része!
1968 LP, THE SOUND OF NANCY WILSON, the Ohio-born songstress had already established herself as the best-selling artist at Capitol Records, second only to The Beatles. Her 20th album for the label found Nancy applying her distinctive brand of soulful vocalizing fused with a touch of pop and jazz to ten songs that were a perfect fit for her well-crafted artistry. Highlights included the U.S. Top 30 R&B and Top 60 pop-charted single, „Peace Of Mind”, the reflective „Black Is Beautiful” (particularly appropriate for the civil rights challenges of the era) and a stellar reading of the Dinah Washington classic, „This Bitter Earth”.
The 1969 release, NANCY found the singer in a variety of musical settings – from R&B gutsiness („I’m Your Special Fool” penned by noted songwriter Jimmy Radcliffe) to dramatic pop splendour (on Jacques Brel’s „If We Only Have Love”) with a nod to the burgeoning soul music market via „You’d Better Go” a US Top 50 R&B-charted single, co-written by Teddy Randazzo.
