"To single out one cut above the others is to lessen their significance. However, the cover of The Emotions "Don't Ask My Neighbors," one of the 1970's best songs, is stunning! Nancy interprets the song as only she could, and with ample support from The Emotions themselves, this is truly a treat for the ears."
This Is Her Best Album To Date

"I had always heard the name Nancy Wilson when I was growing up but never really seriously listened to her. "A Lady With A Song" was the first Nancy Wilson CD I purchased and I have been in love with this woman ever since. "Lady With A Song" is one of my favorite CDs by anyone, period. Wilson nails every song. There's no filler material here. Her remake of The Emotions' "Don't Ask My Neighbor" outshines the original. I prefer Nancy in this type of setting, R&B with Jazz overtones.
For a real treat, the Japanese version of this CD contains a bonus track, "Fairy Tales", which Anita Baker recorded a couple of years later. Baker wrote the song especially for Nancy and lends her vocal stylings to this version, also.
NOTE: Not sure why Amazon has an incorrect track listing for this CD. Here is the correct listing:
1. Do You Still Dream About Me?
2. Now I Know
3. Time Out For Love
4. Don't Ask My Neighbor
5. Lady With A Song
6. Your Love Is What I Need
7. The Other Side Of The Storm
8. The Melody Is You
9. Heaven's Hands
10. Fairy Tales (Exclusive Japanese Bonus Track)"

"The opening song, "Do You Still Dream About Me" couldn't be more perfect as this is one of her best. I agree with the other posters on this one. Nancy has always meant class, quality of song selection and performance. I don't think Nancy can do any wrong....don't let the new artists get all of your money and invest in this CD for quality singing."
A Lady With A Voice!!!!!

"Wow! Nancy Wilson gives her songs many dimensions. That soulful voice can go to places that most of us only fantasize!
"Do You Still Dream About Me" is the opening song on the cd. This vocal is powerfully hypnotic! There is no song quite as satisfying as "A Lady With A Song". "That's What I Remember" features a searing vocal and a hot arrangement. "Love Is What I Need" is a funk-fest! It is a wild number. There is no love song quite like "Melody Is You". Nancy's sensitive style is absolutely delicious! The finale is a grand diva ballad known as "Heaven's Hands".
This cd offers a wonderful variety of songs from one of the grandest female vocalists in America! The arrangements are all brilliantly orchestrated. Nancy fans, this is a must to add to your collection."
