Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered reissue of the 'quiet storm' vocalist's 1979 album. Take A Bite was her third and final album for Columbia Records but unlike its predecessors, the first part of the original LP had a specific musical concept and construct. Working with highly successful Disco producers Meco Menardo and Tony Bongiovi and respected musical arranger/producer Harold Wheeler, the first six tracks were created as a non-stop Dance music extravaganza. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweeping & soulful~Marlena tour-de-force!, October 18, 2011

Bradly Briggs (TOLUCA LAKE, CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Take a Bite (Audio CD)
Marlena Shaw is an incredible singer/performer to experience live and during the Disco Era this brilliantly arranged and performed musical extravaganza show what it was like to experience this great singer in a Disco Club with that loose soulful delivery always sublime going to the heart & soul of a song in her own uniquely original way...theme "It Was A Very Good Year" mixes throught various songs to great effect and fascinating to listen to all over the map vocals from the amazing Marlena complete with her classic spoken dialogue passages she is well known for. Marlena Shaw for anyone familiar with her extraordinary body of work from sixties to current, know this remarkable talent is one of the finest singers over the past fifty years but while she has worked steady acclaim deserved has not happened but thanks to Soul Music Classics these awesome Columbia Records classics are being made available with state of the art production and each masterpiece is a must have for any serious lover of great singers and clearly Marlena Shaw is truly one of those "Unsung" legendary giants...Bravo Marlena!

4.0 out of 5 stars This was a good album way back when, October 7, 2005
This review is from: Take a Bite (Audio CD)
Four stars for sure but not worth the twenty-five dollars they are asking here. I will search a few off the beaten path record/cd stores. And yes i owned the album(33 1/3)at one time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Album to CD - Sweet Suite Seventeen, June 26, 2007
This review is from: Take a Bite (Audio CD)
This is one of my last holdouts from the Disco era. I bought the album off of Ebay, then had a friend record it and transfer it to CD. Now I have it on my MP3 player! All these years later it still makes me wanna dance. I love the whole medley and how it all melds together to tell the story of this woman. Melancholy but powerful.
