Nancy Wilson-'You're Right As Rain: Capitol Albums 1970-80' [11/22/2024-SoulMusic UK]

[Motown Eddie]

Info from SoulMusic/Cherry Red UK;
• First-ever 7CD deluxe box set by iconic song stylist Nancy Wilson recorded for Capitol Records between 1970-1980.
• Eleven of the 12 original albums included here were previously re-issued by SoulMusic Records between 2011-2013, a number of which have been out of print for some time and are being made available again in this luxury set as a result of demand for the late singer’s enduring recordings.
A stunning collection of 124 tracks showcase the legendary vocalist’s artistry through jazz, pop, soul and adult contemporary genres and includes production by Gamble & Huff, Gene Page, Eugene McDaniels and Clarence McDonald among others. Special quotes from legacy artists Dionne Warwick, Johnny Mathis and contemporary soul hitmaker Kenny Lattimore are included in the luxury booklet with stellar artwork by Paul Bevoir which features individual essays on each of the 12 albums by writers Joe Marchese, A, Scott Galloway, Kevin Goins and David Nathan, with quotes from Nancy Wilson, Thom Bell, Gene Page and others.
Nancy Wilson’s breakthrough US Top 10 R&B hit, ‘You’re As Right As Rain’ [penned by Thom Bell &Linda Creed] is among the ten charted singles here including her exquisite readings of James Taylor’s ‘Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight’ and Charlene’s ‘I’ve Never Been To Me’, along with standout album tracks such as ‘The Greatest Performance Of My Life’ and ‘All In Love Is Fair’ which were staples in Nancy’s live repertoire for many years.
Produced by SoulMusic Records’ founder David Nathan [who has masterminded numerous re-issues of Nancy’s recorded legacy] with associate reissue production from Joe Marchese of The Second Disc and superb mastering from Nick Robbins, this pot-pourri of spectacular music provides a dazzling display of Nancy Wilson’s unique and distinctive interpretive abilities beyond categorization and genre.
An expanded edition of 1971’s ‘BUT BEAUTIFUL’ [recorded in 1969 with a quartet of renowned jazz musicians] opens this amazing appreciation of Nancy Wilson’s second decade with Capitol Records; and with various different musical approaches, the eleven albums that follow - ‘CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU’, ‘NOW I’M A WOMAN’.‘KALEIDOSCOPE’, ‘I KNOW I LOVE HIM’, ‘ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR’, ‘COME GET TO THIS’, ‘THIS MOTHER’S DAUGHTER’, ‘I’VE NEVER BEEN TO ME’, ‘MUSIC ON MY MIND’, ‘LIFE, LOVE & HARMONY’ and ‘TAKE MY LOVE’ – are a reminder of her consummate artistry.

Did Nancy Wilson ever record with Thom Bell?

[heikki]

Hi!

On her "Now I'm A Woman" album on Capitol in 1970, Thom Bell was the arranger on three songs [[Joe, Close to You and Make It with You). The LP was produced for Gamble-Huff Productions.

Best regards
Heikki

[Guy]

This!!! Must have.

We must share a brain. This is No. 1 on my Xmas list.

[mr_june]

Very interesting releases, especially for one who doesn't have any of her albums. I might get this for the wife for her birthday [[10/5) she is a big fan. Many of the well known songs on the list makes me want to hear Nancy's versions and also the price.

[jack020]

Will only get this if these are really remasters because I already bought all the seperate Soul Music Records cds a couple of years ago.

Remasters is such a diffcicult tern to understand....what actually does it mean? It may mean something different to you than it does to someone else - such an ambigious term. To me it means going back to the original tapes and a new master being made - a totally new transfer and new equalisation. But in the past I have got remasters that were clearly remastered from a previous CD release.

[jack020]

Great remark Paul, so what will this sound like?

Produced by SoulMusic Records’ founder David Nathan [who has masterminded numerous re-issues of Nancy’s recorded legacy] with associate reissue production from Joe Marchese of The Second Disc and superb mastering from Nick Robbins
