1980 Nancy Wilson – Take My Love
Take My Love is the 37th studio album by the legendary American jazz and soul singer Nancy Wilson, released in 1980 by Capitol Records. This record represents a milestone as it marks the end of her historic 20-year run with Capitol before she moved on to other record labels. To recapture the magic of her 1960s hits, parts of the album (Tracks 7,8 &9) were recorded live in Capitol’s Studio “A” in front of an invited audience.
