Product Description
From Amazon.com
Her name may not be as instantly recognizable as Anita Baker's, but if you're a fan of Baker, you're bound to love Adams. After working toward a solid reputation in her native Kansas, she was discovered while working a hotel-lounge gig by Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears and became one of the band's regular guests (their "Woman in Chains" is included here). This collection includes an impressive list of contributors (including Irene Cara on backing vocals) and worldwide hits like "Get Here," an emotional tearjerker that showcase's Adams's amazing voice. Many tracks veer into MOR territory (what else can you expect with a cover of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"?) and straight-out-of-a-musical style ("Embraceable You"); if you're looking for more funk in your soul, your best bet is "Rhythm of Life." --Rebecca Wallwork

I have booked a trip to London in December and have bought tickets to see Oleta Adams at the Barbican. As I did not feel too familiar with her work I ordered this very well priced CD. It has a real variety of styles from soul and gospel and the voice is amazing. Realy looking forward to the concert and can also highly recommend this CD particularly "Get Here" and the cover of Elton Johns "Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

I have 40 CD stolen while my car was being assessed as road worthy and among thise stolen CD's was Ms Oleta Adams. The Americans have a phrase, 'I am/not feeling it' which I did'nt understand until I started to listen to Oleta and those of her ilk. Download this album today, don't delay, do it now!

Oleta Adams
A great CD to help to fill that gap in your collection around female singer songwriters. A really good purchase.

Love it
I have had this album awhile but damaged it and had computer problems, therefore the reason to purchase. You could say I liked it so much I bought it twice.
