The Nancy Wilson Show featured an acclaimed live set comprising a wide range of material recorded in July 1964 at the Cocoanut Grove nightspot in Los Angeles. (US:24)
"This album captured what arguably was the finest club act ever fashioned for a prominent singer. When the LP came out I was in my early 20s and just flabbergasted by the superlative original material, the full-bodied orchestrations, the brilliant pacing, sophisticated dialogue and Miss Nancy's peerless and perfect performance."
"Nancy herself felt she'd achieved something special with this engagement and was proud of her work. She could have just stood there and sung songs off her albums, after all. A stunning listening experience; don't miss it."
"If you gotta sing for your supper then let it be at the Cocoanut Grove. One of the greatest vocalists of all times, Nancy lights up this classic nightclub with song and sass. She is a brilliant stage actress who can talk and sing up a tropical storm."
"Recorded live at the then legendary Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, is aimed more at the popular audience who were tuned into the variety shows on TV. And in this recording, Nancy Wilson proves herself to be a terrific entertainer."
"Besides having the greatest breath control of any singer ever, Ms. Wilson shines here with her versatility. Whether the torch song Don't Take Your Love From Me, the standard The Saga Of Bill Bailey, jazz standard I'm Beginning To See The Light or hilarious novelty song Don't Talk Just Sing Ms. Wilson never fails to captivate."
"As anything Nancy Wilson does, this album is excellent. It is so refreshing to hear a voice that is a clear and precise as hers and not drowned out by the musicians accompanying her."
"Some of the song choices are eclectic, but perfect for the nightclub occasion. Nancy is in full command of her vocal gifts and the audience, which she has in the palm of her hand."
