Classic 1975 Album on Vinyl LP Features #1 Hit Title
Track!
Shirley Brown's 1975 classic album "Woman To Woman" features the hit title track which went to #1 on the US Billboard R&B Chart in 1974 and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Song Of the Year.
Woman To Woman was Shirley Brown's first album and finds the singer settling in nicely to a set of slow ballads, all soaked with an ache that the singer seems born to convey. The title track of this special vinyl re-issue is the song most associated with the singer and one of the great love-triangle melodramas of the '70s, sparking a series of answer songs, the best of which is Barbara Mason's "From His Woman To You". While not a song cycle like Millie Jackson's Caught Up, which took the cheating subgenre to its extreme, Woman To Woman does create an insular feeling, wrapping the listener in a string of indirectly related emotional contexts. From the intimacy of "So Glad To Have You" to the more direct "Between You And Me" and all points between, Woman To Woman displays all the good and bad complexities that soul singers found at the dark end of the street.
