You Don't Know Me

• Track Listing

The pioneering R&B diva Ruth Brown was the first black female to achieve sustained success in the field of R&B and has influenced generations of vocalists. Equally adept at singing blues, R&B, jazz and rock, Brown shows her jazz chops on the rare album presented here, originally released in 1978. Brown's vocals are front and center, backed by a small combo featuring Lou Levy (piano); Fred Atwood (bass) and John Dentz (drums). All selections newly remastered.
