	Nancy Wilson Biography and Update at SoulTracks
		Though jazz purists often bemoan Nancy Wilson’s forays into pop and soul, her versatility and ability to master multiple genres is virtually unique among singers and is one of the keys to her now legendary status.
		Wilson's vocals are deeper and smokier than in her heyday, and her interpretive skills are better than ever, especially on the "An Older Man," "Blame It" and "I Wish I'd Met You." Wilson says she personally chose all the material on the album, and the results sound both personal and refreshing.
		Wilson recorded a couple of moderately successful early jazz recordings for Capitol and received some attention for her version of “Guess Who I Saw Today.” However, it was a 1962 album recorded with jazz saxophonist and long-time friend Cannonball Adderley that thrust Wilson to the public consciousness.

	Nancy Hope Wilson
		Nancy Hope Wilson does classroom workshops where her emphasis is in working with the student writers in helping them discover and value their uniqueness.
		Nancy will tailor her presentations to the needs of the school, but has learned that two factors are crucial to a successful author visit: students are prepared (that is they are familiar with at least some of her books), and groupings are small enough to allow interaction with the author.
		Wilson has created a very likable preteen who may be perplexed and even dismayed at times by the brittle tone of her ancestors' diaries, but who grows as she begins to understand.

	NANCY WILSON - Jazz Music Artists - Corporate Entertainment Booking

		The two albums which made Nancy Wilson a household name were "Broadway My Way" and "Hollywood My Way," which are just what the titles imply, current and old tunes from the Great White Way and Tinseltown.
		The "hit" from "Hollywood" was, of course, the aforementioned "When Did You Leave Heaven," the Richard Whiting-Walter Bullock gem from the movie "Sing Baby Sing." Both albums came out in 1963 and are part of an extraordinary output of 37 original albums total in her 20 years with the label.

	Nancy Wilson--Live At McCabe's Guitar Shop
		Taped in front of a roomful of invited friends, Wilson is freed from the rock star trappings which brought out her flamboyant guitar flailing tendencies.
		With the release of this unplugged, intimate live record, Nancy finally takes center stage and shows a side of her talents underexposed in Heart's rock catalog, and only glimpsed in her work with the Lovemongers.
		Even when their pounding songs weren't aimed at overproduced arena anthem rock, Ann Wilson's consistently pseudo-dramatic, rock-chick, rafter-rattling vocals were enough to send me packing for less pompous waters.

		Nancy Wilson is a great lady, but her voice was never one for everyone.
		Nancy is a song stylist, her interpretations sometimes don't follow the standards set by other artists performing and producing traditional Christmas albums so do not expect mundane versions of these carols, they belong to Nancy.
		Christmas finds Wilson moving between quietly felt moods with astute shifts in arrangement size; her trio, the Dizzy Gillespie alumni orchestra, and a chamber group are among the varied settings.

	Album Review: 'A Nancy Wilson Christmas'
		Nancy Wilson's strength lies not in her torchy recitals but in her ability to convey a sense of conversation in her delivery.
		"Silver Bells" features a wonderful arrangement by John Wilson, who always seems to provide a soft touch and the right amount of finesse.
		Marty Ashby and flautist Herbie Mann make a strong impression on "White Christmas," and Jay Ashby's arrangement of "All Through the Night" proves excellent for Wilson's multifaceted voice.
