Bell, Maggie
Queen Of The Night
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1974 Original in textured cover. This is an overlooked blues gem. Unbelievable back up band Featuring Cornell Dupree, The Sweet Inspirations, Hugh McCracken, Richard Tee, Leon Pendarvis, Chuck Rainey And Others. With Jerry Wexler behind the controls the record springs to life. The Earthy Vocals Of Maggie Stretches John Prine's "Souvenirs" To The Max With Steve Gadd Ably Assisting By Splashing The Drums As Deep As Bell's Vocals. Her Up-Tempo Version Of J.J.Cale's "After Midnight" Is More Captivating Than Eric Clapton's; She Oozes That Etta James Sexuality While Reggie Young Throws Some Tasty Guitar Into The Semi-Calypso Groove.
