Description
As well as having her own notable hits with PIANO IN THE DARK, SO GOOD SO RIGHT and IN THE THICK OF IT, Brenda Russell also penned classic songs that became major hits for others such as Oleta Adams (GET HERE), Donna Summer (DINNER WITH GERSHWIN) and Luther Vandross (IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT).
Tommy LiPuma signed Brenda to A&M where she released her 1979 self-titled debut and 1981's LOVE LIFE. After his success of producing major Jazz/Soul albums for the likes of George Benson, Randy Crawford and Al Jarreau, LiPuma signed Brenda to the label in 1982 which resulted in the very underrated TWO EYES (Cash Box R&B #45), released in 1983.
Elsewhere JARREAU, her tribute to Al Jarreau is a brilliant and evocative light funk jazz moment and the title track is the album's most radio friendly moment. The McCartney inspired, melancholic I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN features a harmonica solo from Stevie Wonder who is one of many notable guest performers on the album. LOOK DOWN, YOUNG SOLDIER features a guest choir that includes Rita Coolidge, Randy Crawford, Christopher Cross, James Ingram, Al Jarreau, Patrice Rushen And Leon Ware.
This BBR edition of TWO EYES also features four bonus tracks. As well as the single remix of TWO EYES and her hit duet with Michael Franks (WHEN I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU), there are two early versions of THIS TIME (I NEED YOU) and MAKE MY DAY. -
