One of the all-time great lost soul albums, Alice Clark’s eponymous 1972 debut was produced by uber-soul/jazz producer Bob Shad and featured a dream team of players including drummer-extraordinaire Bernard Purdie and jazz and R’n’B guitarist Cornell Dupree. Clark’s voice is simply enchanting, the playing and the songs are of the highest quality and the whole is somehow greater than the sum of the not insubstantial parts. Simply a genuinely wonderful album.
