It would appear that Valerie Carr has been somewhat skipped over when it comes to CD reissues and she's often referred to as a one hit wonder. However this new CD from Jasmine proves that she was a very good song stylist and was perhaps a little underrated.
Features her two LPs 'Song Stylist Extraordinaire' and 'Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day of My Life' and on both Valerie delivers classy interpretations of such numbers as 'Try a Little Tenderness', 'In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning', 'I'll Be Around', 'Why I Was Born' and 'Come Rain or Come Shine'.
It seems that Valerie Carr had a fairly short and mysterious career of which there doesn't seem to be much information. One thing is for sure though, she was a talented singer and this CD is well worth a listen for fans of R&B.
