"WHY THIS WOMAN HAS NOT ACHEIVED MORE FAME ON RECORD IS TRULY ASTONISHING. LEATA'S VOICE CAN SING JAZZ SOUL BLUES AND BALLARDS LIKE FEW OTHERS. HER VERSION OF CRY ME A RIVER IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST EVER RECORDED AND I KNOW CAUSE I HAVE THAT MANY VERSIONS OF THIS SONG BY OTHER FEMALE SINGERS.



IF YOU CROSSED ANITA BAKER WITH SARAH VAUGHAN YOU WOULD COME CLOSE TO THIS AMAZING WOMANS SOUND...HOWEVER IN SAYING THAT LEATA HAS A SOUND ALL OF HER OWN.



I PROMISE YOU ONE THING IF YOU LIKE SOULFUL VOCALS WITHOUT THE HYPE...JUST THE VERY REAL THING YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED BY THIS WOMANS VOICE....



I HOPE THAT THERE WIL BE MORE RECORDINGS IN THE FUTURE!!!! GO GIRL FOR YOU CAN REALLY SING"

SHE'S GOT IT GOING ON!!

"I GAVE THIS CASETTE TO MY BEST FRIEND YEARS AGO AND NOW I WISH I HAD IT ON CD. TO MY SURPRISE IT IS $40-$60 FOR THE CD. I AM SO UPSET THAT THEY DID NOT PRINT ENOUGH THAT THE PRICE IS SO HIGH. SHE IS WORTH IT. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT. IF YOU DO I SUGGEST YOU GET IT. SHE IS WORTH IT. LET ME GET THE MONEY AND SHE IS ALL MINE AGAIN. MABE I WILL CALL JERSEY AND ASK MY FRIEND FOR IT BACK JUST TO HEAR IT AGAIN. WE LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM OVER AND OVER. VOICE AND SOUND EFFECTS WERE EXCELLENT.I NEED TO HEAR HER AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE EXPERINCED HER VOCAL. REGINA BELLE WATCH OUT."

"From her stint with Paul Jabara in the early 80s through her time with the Zawinul group and through this album and anything she may have done since, this attractive woman's deep, enchanting voice is not something that should be treated like a flavor-of-the-month type of thing. The song "Fascination" is quite fascinating."
