In 1973 her career took a different course when accepted an offer to sing on the London West End stage where she sang torch songs and power ballads.

The first track, "Easy to be Hard" is from the musical Hair, almost a premonition of her future career on stage.

On Do Right Woman she returns the favour by singing one of his songs, "Turn a Deaf Ear".

The first traditional song on the album is "The Garton Mother's Lullaby", which was re-recorded in 2005 on Full Circle.

The album is named after her cover of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", originally recorded by Aretha Franklin.
