HutchFan Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Nancy Wilson - I Know I Love Him (Capitol) Wilson seems to be one of those singers who can convincingly put across a song in many different settings, whether it's sophisticated pop, jazz, soul, R&B -- or a cocktail like this 1973 album that blends all of them. She's supported by The Crusaders (who bring light touches of funk) and Don Sebesky (who brings the swoony-but-effective string arrangements). I've only recently started looking into Wilson's recordings from the 70s. It was a big mistake to wait so long. This is good stuff!

Wish they had continued with that Singles series as most of them are very good. 9 hours ago, HutchFan said: Nancy Wilson - I Know I Love Him (Capitol) Wilson seems to be one of those singers who can convincingly put across a song in many different settings, whether it's sophisticated pop, jazz, soul, R&B -- or a cocktail like this 1973 album that blends all of them.

Wasn’t particularly a fan beforehand but was afterwards. Great stage presence and classy performer. Ironically it was with a Cannonball Tribute group backing her, including George Duke I think. Also not a scheduled appearance but something of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 One of the very last recordings of Jackie & Roy, "The Beautiful Sea: songs of Sun, Sand and Sea." A very pleasant and warm listening for this winter morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of them, really. She was remarkably consistent, and (at least here in the U.S.) her albums sold very well, so it's easy to find her LPs for just a few dollars. She's also an artist whose work "translates" well to anthologies. That said, the first Nancy Wilson album that made me sit up and take notice was Hollywood My Way. It includes astounding versions of Mancini classics -- "Moon River," "Days of Wine & Roses" -- plus a bunch of other hit songs from movies of the day. Yesterday's Love Songs, Today's Blues features Nancy Wilson with Gerald Wilson's Orchestra. Terrific. On a @JSngry recommendation, I recently picked up Tender Loving Care -- with Billy May arrangements. Also wonderful.
