The record
A soul-jazz vocal date cut for Blue Note with Ike Quebec's tenor and Grant Green's guitar wrapped warmly around her voice, Sir Charles Thompson's organ keeping things churchy and unhurried. Dodo Greene's only leader session for the label, and a quiet gem of gospel-tinged blues singing from the label's early-60s soul-jazz run.
