2 Nancy Wilson Capitol sets from 1966 -- back to back on one CD! From Broadway With Love is Broadway material -- but given the Nancy Wilson twist -- and sung in a mode that's a lot more soulful than other records of its type! Nancy's at her strong early Capitol best here -- working with arranger Sid Feller in a set of tunes that get some nice syncopation and jazzy inflections from Sid -- pushing them past their showier roots, and into leaner territory that really matches the class of the Nancy Wilson voice! And although they all came from musicals, most titles have had their own life as standards and pop songs -- making the record less of a dip into Broadway than just a continuation of modes that Wilson was already exploring at Capitol in the 60s. Titles include "I've Got Your Number", "He Loves Me", "Here's That Rainy Day", "Hey There", "Makin Whoopee", and "Young & Foolish". Tender Loving Care has Nancy singing with arranger Billy May -- who comes across here with a bit more sensitivity than usual for his Capitol work, especially given the 60s time of the recording! Sometimes, May is using full strings as a broad pillow of sound for Nancy's vocals -- but other times, he strips things down and goes for a livelier, jazzier approach that's even better -- one that helps give the familiar tunes a new lease on life in the hip Wilson style of the 60s. Titles include "As You Desire Me", "Like Someone In Love", "Don't Go To Strangers", "Tender Loving Care", "Love-Wise", "Try A Little Tenderness", and "Close Your Eyes".
