GREATEST HITS WEEK (JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2015)
Crawford's voice has more than its share of passion, emotion, and versatility plus she surrounds herself with great musicians. She moves with ease between genres - R&B to funk to soul to jazz. Like many people, I came to Crawford through her vocals on The Crusaders' Top 40 single, Street Life, and her contributions to the Casino Lights compilation, but even then that wasn't until the '90s. Lots of covers here, some hit, some don't (want a quiet storm cover of a Journey tune? It's here). Because of material (not performances), it's only a good album, not a great one, but most of the tunes would fit in nicely in an Al Jarreau - Anita Baker - George Benson mix/shuffle/playlist.
