Versatile Nancy Ames? Isn't that a lot like proclaiming her as competent, or adequate, or punctual?
Nancy Ames was the house singer for the US version of the political/satirical show "That Was the Week That Was" in the early 60s. By the time this album came out, the show was history. Nancy made a few albums, mostly a little folk and a little Latin (her was of Panamanian heritage, so she came by it honestly), but you know it's sort of a red flag when the album notes have to refer to her work in supper clubs.
The music on the album is well-meaning and pleasant, and I'm sure you know how far those accolades go in my book. Man, I have a LOT of vinyl I need to unload!
Here's Nancy performing a version of Mas que Nada with some really awkward English lyrics (Pow Pow Pow!), which is not on this album....

When I first hear of Nancy Ames and the labels she recorded for was wondering why we haven't heard of her earlier.
Ange, do you have any Shani Wallis?
Leomoncat posted "I'm a Girl" a few years back. This falls under good music for me, but what do I know?
I'm not familiar with Shani Wallis... but there are SO many gaps in my knowledge. I will keep my eyes open, if I find any I may put it on PCL one day.
Where I come from, "versatile" would mean Nancy enjoys being either a top or a bottom.
