While everyone agrees that Marlena Shaw is a national treasure, it’s difficult to categorize her.   Both Downbeat and Record World have named her “Best Female Singer,” and many have compared her range, class and swing that of to eternal jazz  lights like Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson.  But she’s also been called a “soul legend,” both before and after her successful detour into disco.  Marlena’s  a lyricist and composer as well - for example, her ballad “You” was  recorded by both Stanley Turrentine and Benny Golson.
