Amazing unique voice.

Trivia - Rio De Janeiro Blue was written by a guy called Richard Torrance. Not sure his royalty cheques are getting through ok...

... starts properly about 55 seconds in...

Play this in my small band, perhaps a bit more Latin-y, always goes down very well.

I've always been a massive fan of Randy Crawford! I remember getting the Secret Combination album and it changed my life!
It was my introduction to Abraham Laboriel who is my favourite player amongst a million other favourite players 😁
I still get shivers in the track trade winds when he slides up to a 10th double stop.
Another amazing Randy album and my personal fave is "Raw Silk" Will Lee and Abe Laboriel are just perfect on every track.
Will lee's tone on "declaration of love" is still my benchmark 😁

Nice post.
Believe it or not she sang on a Steve Hackett track - check out Hoping Love Will Last from his Please Don't Touch album.

I think that was before she 'made it'. An incredibly beautiful song and performance.

Randy Crawford and Joe Sample worked so well together.

They did a cracking version of Respect Yourself on their No Regrets album. Sadly can't find a version online.

Yes, that was lovely.

It's on this live concert at 29:35.
Also a nice version of Everybody's Talkin' at 15:20.
Actually, the 50 minute set is worth a listen. Just Trio versions of the tunes.
Joe Sample was, as usual, on top form.
