1LP Vinyl – FPH1138-1

The first sound that might come to mind when you think of Ann Peebles is not her voice at all, but rather the telltale pinging of electric timbale which percolates on her biggest hit, “I Can’t Stand the Rain.” This meteorological plink has since been covered and sampled by artists like Tina Turner, Seal, Talib Kweli, Kaytranada, and Missy Elliott. Peebles once boasted that she was “99 pounds of natural born goodness;” the old adage that good things do come in small packages is true here. Peebles’s potent voice has a perfect balance of sophistication and grit. Her sound is visceral yet comforting, and can still astonish and move the heart some four decades later.
