Alice Clark (singer)

Alice Clark (c. 1947– April 2004) was an American soul singer, who had little commercial success but whose recordings became highly regarded.

Later the same year, Clark recorded "You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)" and "Heaven's Will (Must Be Obeyed)", both arranged by Richard Tee and produced by George Kerr.

Produced by Shad, the album, titled Alice Clark, was recorded at the Record Plant in New York and included three songs written by Bobby Hebb, as well as Jimmy Webb's "I Keep It Hid" (also issued as a single), Juanita Fleming's "Never Did I Stop Loving You", and John Bromley and Petula Clark's "Looking at Life".

[6] Her album also became highly valued and collectible, later claimed as "delivered with understated passion and appealing vulnerability",[7] "astonishing",[5] "sublime", "perhaps one of the finest soul albums ever recorded" and "the Holy Grail of modern soul", in which "every single element - the singer, the songs, the musicians, the production - are simply superb...[and] the whole is even greater than the sum of the parts.
