Oh, man! This is one of my all time favorite jazz vocal albums.

Great album - and guest vocalist James LaBrie even sounds more-or-less in tune, which is not something you can always say about his Dream Theater performances . Thanks @AceRimmer for the recommendation.

I tend not to post in here any more as I fear the vast majority of my choices are not overly popular …

I don’t think you need worry about popularity. Whatever you post here will be ground for exploration by the rest of us!

Terry keeps his clips on, pure magic. A CD I had to own for those times when you just need to hear it…

[SukieInTheGraveyard]

Post away. I’m always interested to see what other people are listening to!

Had to buy myself a copy of this but not regretting it at all, also picked this up at the same time and am enjoying very much:

Great record. So far one of my favorites of 2021

Ain’t No Sunshine
(Without Bill)

There is no sweeter voice in reggae than Horace Andy. His two covers on this are simply gold! John Holt does a fair job on the flip side, but I far prefer the King Tubby dub version to finish off the disc.
Horace Andy & John Holt
Ain’t No Sunshine/A Quiet Place (2003)
I think the original recording was '73.

Ain’t No Sunshine can be found on a few compilations, I can’t recall which off the top of my head & also You Are My Angel (1997)

(He does a fine version of Dream Lover - Bobby Darin - the riddim is really tight)

One of my fav Aus bands:
The Triffids
Ain’t No Sunshine

Ain’t No Sunshine
I recall clearly getting them off to 3PBS on time. Those were the days - going to gigs with the band!

Roy Ayers
Ain’t No Sunshine (1973)
(From one of Roy’s funkiest albums)

Isaac Hayes
Ain’t No Sunshine (Live 1972) (Isaac Hayes at Wattstax 2003)

I think Wattstax is a far better album, albeit not as complete.

Isaac Hayes
Ain’t No Sunshine (Live at Sahara Tahoe1973)

@Nostro

There is no sweeter voice in reggae than Horace Andy.

I couldn’t agree more although Cornell Campbell can run him close on occasion IMO. Horace also did vocal duties on a few Massive Attack tracks and tours. Gorgeous voice and can make anything sound laid back.
