{"product_id":"sister-woman","title":"Sister Woman","description":"Esther Marrow is most known as a jazz singer (including a stint with Duke Ellington in the 1960s) and as a gospel artist (with the Harlem Gospel Singers since 1990). Like many vocalists whose background wasn't strictly R\u0026amp;B, however, she also recorded some soul music. Sister Woman, from 1972, was her second album. While her vocals are strong (and, on \"Turn on to Jesus\" especially, have more than a hint of gospel), it's a more or less typical soul LP of the era without much that stands out. Some jazz and funk make their way into the mix, as well as covers of a couple popular hits of the day in \"Rainy Night in Georgia\" and some of the social consciousness permeating early-'70s soul (in \"Ghetto\"). \"Trade Winds\" holds some interest, as the ballad might be the first recording of a song later done by Rod Stewart, Roberta Flack, and Lou Rawls, and \"Ask Me Dance\" (arranged and written by Bobby Scott) verges on a nearly adult contemporary singer\/songwriter sensibility. The 2010 reissue on BGP adds historical liner notes. ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46227273941279,"sku":"029667521222","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9e68a51b3d1426058607298cd3396521.jpg?v=1777886651","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/sister-woman","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
