ALICE CLARK

1 x 12" Vinyl Album
When it comes to legendary albums, very few can match the cult status achieved on the
international jazz and funk scene, by Alice Clark's eponymous album, recorded for
Mainstream Records in 1972. The record which went unnoticed when it first came out has
become one of the most sought-after albums ever since it became cult on the London jazz
and funk scene in the late 80s. It is now being acknowledged as one of the best soul albums
of all-times.
Recorded live over two days at the Record Plant studios in New York City, the album was
produced by Bob Shad and arranged by Jazz veteran Ernie Wilkins with a big band setting.
The music is a superb mix of jazz and soul blessed by Clark's superb singing and including
two all-time favourites, "Don't You Care" and "Never Did I Stop Loving You" plus a selection
of heart-wrenching songs beautifully sung by Clark.
Very little is known about Alice Clark and the legendary two-day session. All is known is she
only ever recorded one album and passed away in the early 2000s. Wewantsounds will tell
the Alice Clark story for the first time and give a unique insight into the birth of this cult
album with a deluxe release that will pay tribute to her talent.
