Nancy Wilson has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and R&B. Most of her albums were major productions, but her 1969 effort, But Beautiful, is quite different.

There is little of jazz interest here, but this is superior ballad singing and one of Wilson's finest recordings. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
