For fans of: Classic Soul Music

What they're saying: Real Gone had this to say as to what sets Doris Troy apart from the pack: “She was also unusual among her contemporaries in being an accomplished songwriter; it was Doris that wrote the all-time classic "Just One Look" along with seven other tunes on this, her debut LP on Atlantic from 1963.” And Liam Flynn at Music Grotto says of the titular hit Just One Look: “It’s one of the saddest songs about love at first sight there are.”

What we say: The first time I heard the title track, the floor dropped out from under me. Her voice is alternately playful, plaintive, tender, and forceful, but always exciting. Sunny studio arrangements (and Bernard Purdie on drums!) provide a perfect backing. - Cedar
