About

The finale to Spanky Wilson's legendary trilogy origianlly released via Mother's Records in 1970, now reissued by P-Vine.

Let It Be opens with the title track, transforming the Beatles' classic into an energetic, but soulful hymn. Trumpets sound as Spanky lets her voice loose, heralding the beginning of what is no doubt one of the best soul records of all time.

B-side opener and Simon & Garfunkel classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water" takes a mellower approach, no less transformative than any of the other covers, but a testament to the tenderness that Spanky's voice could take on. Spanky makes each song her own, delivering moving performances of classics such as Burt Bacharach's "Alfie", "Love or Let Me Be Lonely", and "Loveland." Half a century later, this album by Philadelphia Soul-sister Spanky Wilson sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded. - Music Direct
