I own "A Touch of Today" on vinyl.......2007-01-16

While browsing through an old record store I found an old LP of "A Touch of Today" on sale in perfect condition for $2.95. So what the hell I thought... And you know, that was the best three bucks I've ever spent. Man, oh man, that woman could (and still can)sing baby! What a voice, I mean if you like Nancy Wilson then you will love this album. I don't care if some of the songs are considered sappy 60's elevator fare, this woman's voice just makes any song sound beautiful and fresh. I almost left the room when "Yesterday" came on (I just couldn't take yet another tired version of this depressing song) and I am so glad that I didn't cause she just nails it like no one I have ever heard before. I actually had to listen to it again cause I was so in awe the first time I couldn't really enjoy it. However, the whole album is like this. Hell, I would have paid ten dollars for this LP just to listen to "You're Gonna Hear From Me". So go out and buy this CD (like I am so I can listen to it in my car)and I can assure you, you will be happy you did.

A Different Nancy..........2007-01-10

on this double cd we find nancy in a more secular setting, seems like she was getting out of the mold of being just a jazz singer. she branched out on this one, singing the popular song uptight by stevie wonder, she did a nice job, and some more i dont know but i liked them too... listen to the samples...

Nice blend of sixties songs and old standards.......2004-04-27

The two albums paired in this twofer are well matched, each containing many covers of sixties pop songs and a few older songs.

Among the sixties songs are covers of Go away little boy (gender adaptation of Goffin and King's Go away little girl - an American hit for the Happenings but a British hit for Mark Wynter), Unchain my heart (Ray Charles), Wives and lovers (a Bacharach-David classic), I can't stop loving you (originally a country song, but Nancy almost certainly recorded it after hearing Ray Charles sing it - he had a number one pop hit with it on both sides of the Atlantic), On Broadway (Drifters), Our day will come (Ruby and the Romantics), You've got your troubles (Fortunes), And I love him (gender adaptation of And I love her - Beatles), Uptight (Stevie Wonder), Call me (originally recorded by Petula Clark but an American hit for Chris Montez) and Yesterday (Beatles) and Going out of my head (Little Anthony and the Imperials).

Among the other songs, Tony Bennett has recorded at least three of them (I left my heart in San Francisco, The good life, Shadow of your smile), though some of the others are obscure - however, they are all excellent and well suited to Nancy.

Nancy was one of the best jazz-pop singers of her generation and this twofer proves it.
