	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.

	music-reviewer.com - April, 2002 - Ramsey Lewis/Nancy Wilson
		No, not Nancy Wilson from Heart, but Nancy Wilson the jazz singer, who has had ups and down professionally in the past but has never been forgotten by anyone who ever heard her sing a single note.

		Wilson's quiet, angst-laden interpretation of this work, supported with quiet strength by Lewis and Gray, will echo within your aural memory long after the tune is finished.
