Title: Betty Joplin -- still great after all these years!
Review: I've known Betty Joplin's work for years and years, spent many a Friday evening with friends at a Lansing "Jazz & Blues" lounge called "The Garage" falling under her magic spell. Was thrilled to pieces when she won a Grammy for her work with Arthur Prysock, and was so happy when I found this CD. Betty's voice is as as powerful and clear as a bell (as always) and she performs with a heart as big as her voice!! Upbeat version of "What a Difference a Day Makes" is surprisingly great (didn't know it could ever get as good as Dinah Washington!) It's just fantastic to hear someone who knows their way around jazz and blues standards, as well as interpreting some of the new stuff. Thanks, Betty. Again, I'm under your spell!
