The stance here differs from her more famous work as part of Lambert, Hicks \u0026amp; Ross, the crack sextet (with a touch of big-band class provided by Mel Lewis on drums) accenting her vocals with uncanny precision. It may be a half-century old, but it can teach a few tricks to today’s crop of wannabees.
