Naked Truth

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 598150) CBS/Expansion (UK), 1988 — Condition: New Copy

A sweet late 80s soul set from Leata Galloway – a great singer with a strong musical theater background and too few solo soul sets like this one! Leata's voice is naturally deep, but her range is incredible – which allows her to bring both heavy strength and fragile delicacy, plus these incredible little vocal embellishments without ever laying it on too thickly. To put it succinctly, she's an impeccable singer and knows how to utilize her gifts – which sure makes us wish that she made more records! The production by Nick Martinelli and Preston Glass is nicely smooth and built to last, with some telling period touches, but the album holds up very, very well. Titles include "With Every Beat Of My Heart", "Fascination", "Shades Of Blue", "Cry Me A River", "I'm Scared Of You", "The Naked Truth", "One Of These Nights" and more.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
