Daved Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 RIP the great Marlena Shaw. Always been a big fan but never got to see her live despite her many visits here. I still managed to get an autograph though. Pete Tong put this on a tape in the 80s and it’s my favourite. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Great artist. I associate her primarily as a jazz artist who sometimes crossed over to other genres including soul. Her voice reminds me of Barbara Mason - sexy with a slight break in the inflexion. I'd like to share this Bill Withers cover as more typical of her later work.

I bought the album you shared when it was released at the time; for the same track. It was an Adam spin as well - Notts Odd Fellows all niters in Leicester.

Mal C Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A Real shame, RIP Marlena Shaw. One of my favorites is 'I'm Back for More', the below clip has the wrong Lp art, as it was released her Columbia LP 'Acting Up'. Also done by Leo's Sunship (Lyons), Al Johnson (Columbia) and Bobby Womack & Lulu (Dome). Although Marlena's is my favorite one... that intro!! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kesalocasoul Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Another of my Marlena Shaw favourites is "Could It Be You" from the Phil Upchurch album "Name Of The Game" (1984). Unfortunately, I cannot find a YouTube link to this track (although there are about 1,000 uploads of "You Can't Sit Down" (1961)). Phil's website https://philupchurch.com/ details his interesting career and many other collaborations. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Was lucky enough to see her perform at one of the early Up North/Southport weekenders ( held at Fleetwood 1989/90?). She was great as you would imagine. She sent one guy who was filming her perform off with a flea in his ear. The Lady was all business. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
