Consummate artist, distinct style, those are right words to describe her, also elegant. And funny! I laughed out loud several times during the interview. What a legacy she has left. Rest in Peace, Marlena Shaw. And thank you, Tim, for this beautiful tribute!
Beautiful stuff-- love her light, jazzy vibe that's still so full of soul. And she rocked that piano on "The Lord Giveth" ! So glad you reminded us of the breadth of her career and talent.
As you probably know Marlena included a gospel or spiritually inspired track on several of her albums. She also recorded a few songs on Joe Willams gospel album. When I briefly chatted with her after a couple concerts in LA she shared that making a gospel album was her only unfulfilled professional goal and she'd be working on it after she "got some new false teeth." Lol
After her death her daughter messaged me that she was trying to gather all her gospel tracks, including unreleased material, for a gospel compilation.
