Patty Waters

Sings

Patty Waters comes alive on this legendary 1965 debut. Sings features seven ballads and a shocking version of “Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair”. With Patty’s moans, whispers, screams, and wails, this track helped cement her reputation as a vocal innovator, one whose influence extended beyond jazz to Yoko Ono and Diamanda Galas. Digitally remastered in digipak format, Sings will re-introduce the talents of this long-forgotten talent.
