Buyer beware...distortion & digital clicks., April 2, 2008
This review is from: Try a Little Tenderness / I'm Glad There Is You (Audio CD)
"I'm Glad There is You" is Gloria Lynne's finest Jazz (as opposed to Pop) album w/ the excellent Earl May (bass) Trio. Unfortunately the mastering is so poor that the distortion (especially the piano, of course) makes the recording difficult listening. The last track of the recording "Young & Foolish" ends in definite digital clicks.
I've ordered a few copies from different sellers hoping that the problem was my particular copy but no such luck. All 3 had the same problems. This is Gloria at her inspired best. Too bad!!!

Too bad indeed., January 29, 2010
This review is from: Try a Little Tenderness / I'm Glad There Is You (Audio CD)
I, like the previous reviewer, have been upset at the releases that had been long lost of this wonderful vocal artist. Gloria was backed by the talent of a great pianist Herman Foster, with Grisella Oliphant on drums. Foster explodes on the song I'm Glad There Is You and later recorded two or three lps on the Epic label which are reminescent of early Red Garland and Gene Harris. Sadly Lynn got little opportunity to really break out of the all too brief "pop" period of success she had and so even today, with all the re-released recordings..she is unknown to even accomplished singers
