Evie Sands, one of the most astonishing female vocalists in the world, the favourite singer of Dusty Springfield among many others. Yes, we've been through all this before, but it needs to be said!

After a series of critically acclaimed disappointments in the 1960s, Evie at last got her due with the sublime (and monster hit!) 1969 single and album "Any Way That You Want Me" on A&M (also on RevOla!). A couple of years later, Evie was to team with Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, erstwhile hitmakers at Dunhill Records and masterminds of the label's dazzling second run, going from re-inventing The Grass Roots as pop/soul hitmakers, to the personal triumph of relaunching the hit career of The Four Tops.

On a roll, they were able to launch Haven Records, to which their first signing was Evie with this superb album, written and produced by the duo, which was a huge success, both artistic and commercial for Evie, and spawned the hit singles "You Brought The Woman Out Of Me" and "I Love Makin' Love To You" along with a raft of cover versions by Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, Dusty Springfield, Dobie Gray ("You Can Do It" Billboard Top 20, R&B Chart), Dionne Warwick, Frankie Valli, Cher and Greg Allman, The Manhattans, Phyllis Hyman, Jose Feliciano, Linda Clifford, June Pointer, Weather Girls, Liona Boyd, The Ebonys, Karen Carpenter, Tom Jones, Betty Everett, and many others. Without doubt a songwriting coup for Dennis and Brian, and for Evie herself...

So here we are, with the original album, as well as no less than 5 unreleased bonus tracks of stunning quality, another triumph for Evie, Lambert & Potter and for Rev-Ola!
