Definitely Jean Carn singing. I'll see if I can find the tune on the Dough & Jean Carn CD's over the weekend if I get a chance. Those Carn CD's on Black Jazz are four great CD's by the way.
I really want to know what that tune is!
You & me both!
Hey, I have another unrelated question, but still on-topic for the thread (since it is Black Jazz AND Tribe Records)...
Does anyone here have the original vinyl of the Ranelin/Harrison album "A Message From The Tribe"? Man...I just discovered that record and it is AMAZING. But the sound quality on the two available CDs (Scorpio Music and P-Vine) is absolutely horrendous. I'm wondering whether it's worth tracking down the original LP for the $500 or so it goes for (!!!).
Turns out that that tune is Dee Dee Bridgewater with Norman Connors, "Holy Waters" from Love From The Sun. Thanks to Rod (aka rostasi) for taking the blinders outta my ears...
As for the Tribe stuff, avery Tribe LP I've got has been like that, realy echo-y, distant sound. I think the CDs do the best they can.
The cover art, though, is worth having, if you wanna go there...
