Recorded in late 1972, “Alone Again Naturally” was the follow-up to Esther Phillips’ Grammy ® nominated “From A Whisper To A Scream”. Producer Creed Taylor assembled a stellar cast of musicians including George Benson, Maceo Parker, Eric Gale, Bernard Purdie, Ron Carter, Richard Tee and Billy Cobham. A great choice of repertoire and superb arrangements from Pee Wee Ellis and Don Sebesky melded perfectly with Esther’s smoky vocals to produce one of the finest albums of her career. Both critics and NARAS voters took note, the latter awarding Ms. Phillips a second Grammy ® nomination for this Kudu classic.
