The Most Sophisticated

I would ask for a moment of silence to remember the storytelling singer Nancy Wilson but I can’t stop listening to her beautiful recordings.

She brought to her interpretations such sophistication, such compelling artistry and connection to the story inside the songs. Making the rounds today is her stirring, utterly original version of “The Very Thought of You” and of course I could point you to her all-time top-ten album with Cannonball Adderly, but for me, I always think of the story she tells with “Guess Who I Saw Today?” So give a moment of silence, but then listen to the music. Let her take you on a journey with her.
