Kiss Me With The Wind

Kiss Me With The Wind / Brenda Russel (1990)
l


Brenda Russell is a songwriter with so much talent that was offering songs to the various artists such as Earth,Wind & Fire or Stevie Wonder, Sting.

All songs in this album were the compositions of her own writing .
(Alyhough There are several songs written with Narada Micheal Walden. )

Her lyrics and the melodies were so confortable to remember!
I feel like get healed with her voice.

Philip Bailey participated in her fifth album by the backing vocal.
The third tune of this album,"All American"

It says they are all same American though there have different histories respectively and circumstances, too.
It is peaceful music of grandeur
The guest was so gorgeous probably because of that meanning!

Background vocal/ Phil Perry, Philip Bailey, James Ingram,
Sharon Robinson, Stephane Spruill, Brenda Russele


As for Phil Perry and Philip Bailey, the casting is often done together.
Though it was really cool and wonderful chorus ・・・
I was not able to confirm the voice of Philip Bailey.
Duets are gladder than choruses for the fan.
