{"title":"Marlena Shaw","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarlena Shaw is an American jazz, blues, and soul singer, renowned for her powerful, versatile vocals and engaging stage presence. Born in 1942, Shaw's career took off in the mid-1960s, and she became the first female vocalist signed to Blue Note Records in 1972. She is particularly known for her hit \"Woman of the Ghetto,\" a socio-political commentary that has been widely sampled in hip-hop music. Shaw's style incorporates elements of jazz standards, show tunes, and contemporary pop, making her a significant figure in the evolution of jazz and soul music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"waiting-for-charlie-to-come-home-brother-where-are-you","title":"Waiting For Charlie To Come Home\/ Brother Where Are You","description":"This is a new, unplayed promo copy from the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.classic45s.com\/textpage.php?page=neal\" target=\"_new\"\u003eLouise Neal 45 Collection\u003c\/a\u003e, in its original Chess\/Checker\/Cadet factory sleeve. The A side is a decent Northern Soul number, but the real action is on the Funky Soul-style flip. Note: This beautiful promo copy has Near Mint labels, with just a single stray mark on the B label to keep it from a Mint grade. The vinyl looks untouched but grades Near Mint because it's not completely flat (too flat to use the term \"warp\"). The audio sound pristine Mint.","brand":"Marlena Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516463788265,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/marlenashaw2.jpg?v=1752224954"},{"product_id":"its-better-than-walkin-out-be-for-real","title":"It's Better Than Walkin' Out\/ Be For Real","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Blue Note Records factory sleeve.
