Jazz style vocalist Nancy Wilson continued her winning streak by placing her fourth US top ten album within a year. Today Tomorrow Forever was a collection of recent pop standards. (US:10)
"On Today Tomorrow Forever, Nancy Wilson lights up a set of the usual mid-'60s pop standards. They're all good choices for her breathy voice and occasional improvisations, especially One Note Samba and Wives & Lovers. On them, Wilson plays with the notes and rhythm, making a pair of light-hearted songs even more playful and irresistible than they had been previously."
"Considering the dozens of traditional jazz-based singers unfamiliar with their place in the middle of the turbulent '60s, Today Tomorrow Forever is an accomplished album that sounds almost effortless."
"I didn't know so much could be made out of Call Me Irresponsible and Our Day Will Come. Wow, is she ever a great singer."
"My personal favourite is the knockout performance of Go Away Little Boy. Nancy's yearning and longing come through loud and clear. You can hear the ache in her voice and the conflicting emotions she's feeling. Anyone who's been through an ill-fated affair can surely identify with her take of this song."
"Another album filled with perfect definitive versions of classic songs. If you're a fan of Nancy, you cannot go wrong with this album."
"Nancy was one of the best jazz-pop singers of her generation and this proves it."
"Nancy Wilson shows her range and versatility in this set from the 60s. Add some wonderful jazz arrangements and some classic songs from the era and you get quite a delightful package."
"On this album we find Nancy in a more secular setting. It seems like she was getting out of the mould of being just a jazz singer. She branched out on this one."
