Esther Phillips - What A Diff'rence A Day Makes (1975) [1987 Epic-CTI Recording]
EAC | Flac+Cue+Log+Artwork (228 Mb) | MP3@320+Artwork (85 Mb) | RS/FF
R&B Soul | Columbia ZK-40710

This album is a synthesis of the various styles that Esther best expresses herself - some hard gutsy blues number, a couple of fast paced dance numbers, including of course "What A Diff'rence...," a couple of rock tunes , and even a touch of country in the flavorful "Turn Around, Look At Me." This became Esther's most popular album ever, and huge international hit as well.

Nina Simone's singing captures a good deal of what it must have been like to be black in America during those tumultuous times.
