Naked and True

Dominated by cover songs, Naked and True finds Randy Crawford putting her recognizable stamp on R&B hits ranging from the Spinners' "I'll Be Around," Change's "The Glow of Love" and George Benson's "Give Me the Night", to Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots" and Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years."  - especially noteworthy is her cover of Prince's "Purple Rain," which she changes from a rock/soul ballad to a jazzier, more quiet storm-ish number.

If you consider the late '70s and early '80s as great period for R&B, on Naked And True you'll find a lot to like. On top of this, the remix collection on Side D presents a very special selection of collaborations with some of the most popular DJ's / remixers at that time – all mixes are out of print and have not been not available digitally for many years.
