Esther Philips

She also did a great version of Oddyssey's 'Native New Yorker', that was an even grander gesture than the original.

Also on the album was "Boy, I really tied one one"...came out about the same time as David Matthews and Whirlwind's album with "You keep me hanging on" which had similar arrangements, maybe because they were on the same label?

Now THIS is how an old jazzbo (or jazzbo-ette) shows how it's done. Stylish, classy, a great package. One of the Kudu label's only Top 40 hits.
