One of the most unique jazz singers of the 60s – an artist we only know from this one album on Mainstream – which got top-shelf treatment by arranger Don Sebesky! Sylvia Copeland sings with lots changes throughout the set – sometimes flowing in a Morgana King mode, sometimes a bit crisp and biting, ala Eartha Kitt – and also even introducing some tunes with an exotic voice that almost sounds European – even though Sylvia was born in Cleveland! There's almost a current of drama to the whole production – which serves to unify the tunes into a complete package of listening – with titles that include "Mira", "Angelitos Negros", "Soon It's Gonna Rain", "Meantime", "On The Other Side Of The Tracks", and "Warm Blue Stream".
