Product Review

Esther had lots of ups and downs during her career-here are two of the ups. Always a powerful vocalist, she's at her soulful, bluesy best on these 1970 and 1975 Atlantic albums, singing Release Me; Makin' Whoopee; Cry Me a River Blues; C.C. Rider; Confessin' the Blues; In the Evenin' , and 14 more from one of the first female superstars of R&B.
