Put It on Paper

Amazon.com
Putting gospel, soul, and club music on one album is usually a recipe for disaster, but former Sounds of Blackness lead vocalist Ann Nesby stands up to the challenge. Her sophomore effort is a luscious mix of the aforementioned styles, strengthened by the sophisticated production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Chicago house-music legend Steve "Silk" Hurley, Gerald Isaac, and others. While an inspired cover of Brainstorm's "Lovin' Is Really My Game" and other dance-oriented tunes are engaging pulse-pumpers, true inspiration is found in Nesby's slow ballads and gospel numbers. Among its 13 strong selections, the album's crown jewel has got to be the title track, a hip-grinding, soul-stirring duet with the incomparable Al Green. Don't let yourself down and fall in love with Ann Nesby today. --Rebecca Levine

One of America's great songwriters.......2001-03-09

Amid the Cole Porters, Irving Berlins and George Gershwins of the world, Harold Arlen tends to be forgotten. And yet, when the greatest song of the 20th century was recently voted on by a distinguished panel of critics, whose song came out on top? Mr. Arlen's (Over the Rainbow). Here is a superb cross section of Harold Arlen songs by a cast ranging from Judy Garland to Bing Crosby to Ethel Waters, spanning decades and spanning a wide range of styles, from jazz to ballads, poignant to funny. Although the sound is not ideal, as many of the recordings date from the 30's and Pearl's objective in remastering has always been to achieve the fullest musical sound rather than to reduce surface noise, this is a minor complaint given the rich and mind-opening selection of great music found here.

You gots to put it on paper!!!.......2003-02-21

This CD is the truth. Three tracks tell it all. "I Can't Get Over You", "She Can't Love You" and "Where Would I Be" fully explain the beauty that this woman presents with her voice and presence. On "I Can't Get Over You" listen to the vocal range she gives. Only a real pro can do what she did on that song. No Ashanti or Destiny's Child can do that. Buy the CD and automatically tune it to the song and you'll understand. As for "Where Would I Be", it is trully a blessed song. Very uplifiting and fulfilling. It's a testament to all of our lives. Last but not least "She Can't Love You". You just feel this song. She sings it like she means it. The rest of the CD was pretty good and the duet with Al Green was tight as well. BUY THE CD if not only for the three songs that I told you about.

Ann Nesby took it from paper and put it all in Song.......2003-02-06

Pretty good album. I really enjoyed the track "Put it on Paper" feat. Al Green. There is truth and power in this song. The other songs were good too. I would say that this is a good buy!

You Betta Recognize!.......2002-08-20

Ladies and gentlemen, Ann Nesby has entered the room. Roll out the carpet and hand this sista a mike, because she's about to bring the house down again! Her dynamite new album, "Put It On Paper," is a winning mix of r&b, house, and gospel that makes Nesby as much a lady of soul as her high-profile contemporaries. The heart of the album is the sizzling title track which is a duet with the legendary Al Green. The chemistry these two singers bring to the table must be witnessed to be believed, and they compliment each other nicely. Her producers, which include house meister Steve "Silk" Hurley, Jam and Lewis, and Mousse T, give Nesby's songs the muscle her voice demands. Uplifting, positive, and affirming, "Put it On Paper" isn't to be ignored or slept-on.

True Rhythm and Blues has finally returned.......2002-04-09

The song stylings of Mr. Al Green was the LAST "current" music I purchased, back in the 1970's. The only music my husband and I buy now is old school 60's, 70's, 80's and some 90's (If it's old school) jazz and 60's rhythm and blues tunes.

We heard Ann Nesby and Al Green singing "Put It On Paper" day before yesterday and we thought it was Aretha Franklin and Al Green doing a duet from the 1960's. We couldn't figure out how it was that we had never heard this cut before. I went out and bought this CD yesterday. I had to because their duet rocked our musical world. We play it over and over because this is the baddest cut to have come out in decades. Stomp down rhythm and blues at its finest. These two artists can sing (some of today's artists should listen to this cut and take serious notes) and must record together again.

Ms. Ann, Mr. Green, we ARE talking GRAMMY here! ...

Luxurious.......2002-04-08

Amazing vocal ballet, superb songs, flawless engineering..thats Sounds Of Blackness's Ann Nesby's "Put it on Paper". Nothing more to add thats gonna make it any different from that of other reviewers' who obviously know what they're talking about. I just wished she had more up-tempo stuff to balance out the CD. Go git' this now, you'll love it.
