Editorial Reviews

Jackie DeShannon has a large cult following, but she may not have gotten the respect in music history she deserves. Some refer to her as the "poor man's" Dusty Springfield. Even though here albums were not huge chart successes, they have stood the test of time for quality. One album of hers that has never been issued on CD is "Your Baby Is A Lady". Guest musicians on this album include Cornell Dupree, Hugh McCracken, Richard Tee, Steve Gadd, Ralph MacDonald, Jon Faddis, Cissy Houston, Gwen Guthrie, David "Fathead" Newman.

This review is from: Your Baby Is a Lady (Audio CD)

Jackie DeShannon is a legendary singer/songwriter and this stunning set of illuminating performances show the very soulful side of her great voice...editorial comments comparing Jackie to Dusty Springfield have never entered the mind of this long time fan from the beginning of each of these incredible singers careers...Dusty and Jackie each have a unique style and sound all their own and this silly thought would only be held by one who doesn't know much about either of these great legendary singers.
Had Jackie DeShannon found her way to Atlantic Reconds in the great musical sixties believe her career would have soared and after a few spins of this incomparable collection filled with legendary session players any real music lover will wonder why this great work was not heard on the airwaves...any exposure at all would have produced a number of huge hits and the Jackie original "Your Baby Is A Lady" is a prime example...raw & soulful "That's What I'm Here For" is another to play over and over in a collection full of amazing and richly varied vocals. Bravo to Jackie DeShannon for this tremendous collection filled with engrossing performances that sound as fresh and vital as when the original vinyl was released over thirty years ago...timeless classic slipped through the cracks but now available for lovers of blue-eyed soul to enjoy over and over again!
