Nancy Wilson (jazz Singer)
Nancy Sue Wilson (February 20, 1937 – December 13, 2018) was an American singer and actress whose career spanned over five decades, from the mid-1950s until her retirement in the early 2010s. She was especially notable for her single "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" and her version of the standard " Guess Who I Saw Today". Wilson recorded more than 70 albums and won three Grammy Awards for her work. During her performing career, Wilson was labeled a singer of blues, jazz, R&B, pop, and soul; a "consummate actress"; and "the complete entertainer". The title she preferred, however, was "song stylist". She received many nicknames including "Sweet Nancy", "The Baby", "Fancy Miss Nancy" and "The Girl With the Honey-Coated Voice". Early life Nancy Wilson was born on February 20, 1937 in Chillicothe, Ohio, to Olden Wilson, an iron foundry worker, and Lillian Ryan.

Nancy – Naturally
''Nancy – Naturally'' is a studio album by Nancy Wilson released in 1966. Billy May served as the arranger and conductor, and David Cavanaugh produced the album. It entered the ''Billboard'' 200 on January 28, 1967, and remained on the chart for 21 weeks, peaking at No. 35. It reached #4 on the Hot R&B LPs chart. The song "In The Dark" was released as a single, with "Ten Years Of Tears" as the B-side. Stephen Cook at AllMusic says, "Wilson displays all her talents" on ''Nancy – Naturally.'' "On the blues end of things, she turns the lights down low with a smoldering cover of Lil Green's classic 'In the Dark' and swings it hard and brass-heavy on the Joe Williams/Count Basie number 'Alright, Okay, You Win.' And for some of her patented ballad heaven, there are stunners like Michel Legrand's 'Watch What Happens' and Lil Armstrong's forlorn standard 'Just for a Thrill." Cook applauds Billy May's charts, saying the arranger was "adept with all the album's many moods" and conclude ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John Bush reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that though Wilson's voice was "as strong and pliable as ever...Wilson isn't always right for this material, as her attempt to sound exuberant on Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" displays".

The album contains a mixture of standards from the Great American Songbook and more recent popular material. In his AllMusic review, William Ruhlmann says that ''Gentle Is My Love'' is "a collection of romantic ballads that Wilson addresses with her characteristic emotionalism and precision. The arrangements are full of lush string parts, and the tempos are taken deliberately." Ruhlmann notes that Wilson covered several songs that were usually associated with men and performed as "soaring, heroic anthems," whereas she turns them into "more intimate, reflective ballads." A 1970 re-issue of the album was entitled ''Who Can I Turn To''.
