Shirley Brown: Counting Her Blessings
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, August 1977
ALL THOSE folk who dug the soulfully classic sound of Ms. Shirley Brown when the lady literally broke the charts up in 1974 (yes, it was that long ago!) will be more than pleased to know that she's back with a vengeance! With 'Blessed Is The Woman' as her debut release on Arista Records, Shirley looks set to pick up where she left off and she insists "that I haven't been anywhere!"
