referencing Gifted & Black (LP, Album) VPL 1-4015
An unofficial 1955[?] studio LP from jazz singer, pianist, songwriter NS who exudes a very personal feel & passionate vocal control. Some say this is a “jazz classic” & others “something of a lost cabaret masterpiece”. The poorly dubbed strings arranged by Monk Higgins detract from the treasure within.
Unique!- The album was released in 1970, because Canyon label survived only in 1970 (see Billboard 5 Dec 1970, p. 73)
