CAROLYNN PORTER - I Want You (vocal/instrumental)

Carolynn Porter grew up around Manny Campbell, acclaimed producer of Nu’Rons fame and one of those characters that kept feeding jobs to Joe Tarsia contributing to the greatness of his Sigma Sound Studios. Carolynn was also vocalist in his jazz band from 1966 to 1969 that included jazz legends John ‘Papa’ DeFrancesco (father of Joey DeFrancesco), and Grover Washington Jr. Although she gigged until she decided to quit singing and settle down to marriage and family life, this was her only recording with the band. The master tapes came to light in  the archive of the University of Pennsylvania, and this vocal and instrumental seven inch of "I Want You" is the first time this recording has been made commercially available. And what a lovely thing it is too.
