Diana Ross
Diana Ross was a superstar even when part of the Supremes, and as a solo singer much was expected from her from the Tamla/Motown empire. Although she had enjoyed a hit single in 1971 with "I'm Still Waiting" and a few other Top Ten singles during the 1970s, it wasn't until the album Touch Me in the Morning that she showed her full potential as a ...

Chet Baker
A ballad collection that emphasizes Chet Baker's troubled-romantic vocal style, it's not too surprising that these 1957 recordings remained in the vaults for almost 40 years. For one thing, Baker's delicate tenor, having won the hearts of thousands of teenage fans, was considered somewhat of a novelty to most critics. For another, his guitar-and ...

Verve gets a lot of mileage out of its jazz catalog by repackaging a lot of material under loose thematic configurations. After Hours, as you could probably guess from the title, focuses on Simone's jazz ballads, with 16 tracks from her mid-'60s Philips albums. The material is pretty good -- "Wild Is the Wind," "Black is the Color of My True Love ...
