Pleasure For Music present a reissue of Tamiko Jones's I'll Be Anything For You, originally released in 1968. Tamiko Jones -- born Barbara Tamiko Ferguson in 1945 in Kyle, West Virginia -- debuted in 1967 on Atlantic with flautist and mentor Herbie Mann on the soul-jazz-bossa flavored A Mann & A Woman. Her solo career took off in 1968 with the rare groove inflected I'll Be Anything For You, released on A&M/CTI and produced by label owner Creed Taylor. Recorded and engineered by master Rudy Van Gelder at his own Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the album is such a lovely combination of soul-funk jams and R&B ballads with craft strings arrangements by Artie Butler and Don Sebesky. Featuring a who's-who line-up of classy session men -- Bernard Purdie on drums and Eric Gale on guitar just to name a few -- I'll Be Anything For You is namely one of the best soul-pop crossovers ever.
