Ann Nesby has "soul" - period.

Because she's NOT in her early twenties she's got a tad more experience in delivering what she's singing about than some of our younger talented divas. She really gives it what she's got, and that's saying something.

Ann's voice is to be reckoned with. Listen to any of Sounds of Blackness' pre-1997 recordings when she was the primary soloist and you'll understand. With the outstanding production by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on this album, this set is a must have for anyone that is remotely interested in R&B music.

Released in 1996, this collection of songs sounds just as fresh today as it did then, a testament to its quality.

On this steller debut from the former Sounds Of Blackness frontwoman, Ann Nesby has truly outdone herself. Since this album came out about three years ago, I've been recommending it to friends everywhere. This smooth Jam/Lewis produced project has something for everyone. Flagrant R&B, dance, gospel and a few killer ballads starting with I'm Still Wearing Your Name, an ole to a lost love. I'll Do Anything For You speaks for itself. (What A) Lovely Evening is great for a candlelight dinner in winter. Lord I Need You is Ann at her gut-wrenching best. Can I Get A Witness is hot for the jeep. With its thumping base line, it's the right ingredient for any club, house party, or church for that matter. These are just a few of the jewels in this collection by Ms. Nesby. In the mist of a record company shuffle involving Perspective Records/A&M Records, it may be a while before we hear from her again. Also involved in this shuffle are The Sounds Of Blackness (hense the dismal sales of their last effort Time For Healing), Lo-Key?, and Solo. Until this matter is resolved, this CD will stand as one of the best R&B projects by a female in the 90's.

I've had this album for about 6 years now and still listen to it frequently. I love every track on the album-there is no filler on it at all. There is also something for everyone on the album. Whether it be pop, R&B, dance, gospel or soulful ballads, Ann Nesby delivers on her first solo effort post Sounds of Blackness.

The polished production of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis keeps her sound consistent. The music and overall sound is uplifting and inspirational. Her track "This Weekend" is reminiscent of early Al Green while "In The Spirit" is very much like Sounds of Blackness. I listen to "Lord, How I Need You" when I'm need of inspiration and affirmation. I highly recommend this album.

It has been five years since the release of Nesby's debut album. Nesby, the former frontrunner of Sounds of Blackness, made an auspicious entry as a solo artist in a work that is well produced and superbly executed.

After starting off with the mid-tempo "Let the Rain Fall," the singer really shows her sensitive side with the very emotional "I'm Still Wearing Your Name." Next up is the sultry "If You Love Me," followed by the passionate "(What A) Lovely Evening."

Chills abound when one hears "I'll Do Anything for You" (cut #6) while the later cut "This Weekend" triumphs as one's prelude to a romantic rendezvous.

"Thrill Me," "Hold On," and "In the Spirit" are reminiscent of Nesby's work with her former group. The dance-ready "Can I Get a Witness" gets the blood a-pumping. The next to last cut, "Let the Old Memories Be" is a heart-rendering as anything done by that other diva named Aretha. And the final one ("Lord, How I Need You") is an inspiring testament to faith.

I truly hope that another one from this dynamo is in the wings, ready for an assault on my appreciative ears.

This album is magnificent. I only came across it by accident and I have to say god bless you. I enjoyed the album from start to finish. Not only has Ann Nesby got a very strong voice that reaches out to you but the lyrics are close to reality. Each track has its own blueprint which also gives the album another edge.

Great!, Let the rain fall down on me is great! I discovered Ann nesby few days ago. Why she has not other cd?. Please, Ann. Another CD

OUTSTANDING, ANN has a great voice on this recording she has JIMMY JAM AND TERRY LEWIS assisting her with the writing and arranging which results in CLASSIC. The song IM STILL WEARING YOUR NAME is Classic for anyone who has gone through the pain of a Divorce this speaks to them. When a person has had enough of the Drama there really is nothing else to do but dash and send that person Divorce Papers via mail.
Thanks Ann LOVED IT Ms. K

well worth the price and i am happy the seller had this available am enjoying it everyday thanks a million.

I don't understand why some naysayers don't give Ann Nesby the props she deserves. This is an artist who is not only an extraordinary singer but she also writes each and every one of her own songs, composes her music, produces her records, provides her own backing vocals and even takes part in directing her music videos. Unlike most "divas", Ann is also one of the few artists who always sings "live" (unlike Celine, Janet or Madonna who use vocal tracks or lip synch in theirs concerts) when she performs.
I'm Here For You it's one of the best album she created and don't doubt it must buy...

I bought this CD 3 years ago and still listen to it. Inspirational
