* One of the premier vocalists in contemporary music, song stylist NANCY WILSON recorded over thirty albums for Capitol Records during her twenty-one years with the label (1959-1980)
* While her early work focused more on her jazz leanings, by the mid-‘70s, the singer was looking to expand her audience. Working with Executive Producer Larkin Arnold (then-newly appointed head of the Black Music department at Capitol), Wilson teamed up with producer Gene Page (known for his superlative arranging work with Barry White and Marvin Gaye among many others) in 1974.
* The initial result of their pairing was ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR, a collection of material that put Nancy right into a contemporary soul vein. She scored her first Top 10 R&B hit in a decade with her rendition of The Stylistics’ “You’re As Right As Rain” (written by Thom Bell & Linda Creed). The LP also included songs written by Stevie Wonder (the stunning title track), Ray Parker Jr. (“Ocean Of Love,” a favourite among the UK rare groove crowd) and Wilson herself (the biting “Tell The Truth”).
* The response to ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR prompted Nancy, producer Page and his brother Billy to record the 1975 set COME GET TO THIS. Once again, an all-star cast of musicians (including Crusaders Joe Sample and Wilton Felder) was on hand to provide the perfect L.A. groove for Wilson’s trademark vocalising. Highlights including Wilson’s take on James Taylor’s “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “If I Ever Lose This Heaven” and the R&B hit “He Called Me Baby” along with the Marvin Gaye-penned title track.
