This review is from: This One's on Me (Audio CD)
I remember hearing Gloria Lynne years ago--and that's about all. It's good to learn she's a trouper, still performing, because even if the voice isn't quite as nimble and smooth, it's acquired a "soulful grain" that leaves an impression. Even though she won the same talent contest at Harlem's Apollo as singers like Ella and Sarah, she's definitely not in their league. Yet she's fearless about taking a song exclusively associated with Sarah--"Snowbound"--and taking us places with it. Unlike Sarah, she doesn't produce a coloratura aria on individual notes, but the "beat" is more apparent and the feeling especially persuasive. "Here we are, helplessly snowbound"--"so deep is our love." Hers is a "big" voice. It reaches out, grabs you, and pulls you into its depth. It doesn't hurt that the pianist is Mike Renzi, who simply has no equal as an accompanist these days.
