As Jennifer Warnes, she scored US #1 smash hits with 'It's The Right Time Of The Night' in 1977, 'Up Where We Belong' (with Joe Cocker, from An Officer And A Gentleman) in 1982 and 'I've Had The Time Of My Life' (with Bill Medley, from Dirty Dancing) in 1987 - the last two bagging Best Song Oscars, as did 'It Goes Like It Goes' from the film Norma Rae - as well as singing with her chum Leonard Cohen on six of his albums and recording her own acclaimed Famous Blue Raincoat album of Cohen compositions in 1986. She sang backing vocals on albums by Ike & Tina Turner, Warren Zevon, James Taylor, Randy Newman, Roy Orbison, Jackson Browne and collaborated with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Van Dyke Parks, Bonnie Raitt, Arlo Guthrie and Harry Belafonte! E However, in a previous life in 1968 - when she was an ambitious hippie folkie known simply as Jennifer - she became a regular on US TV hit The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour where she sang with guests including Donovan, Glen Campbell, Kris Kristofferson, Dion, John Hartford and Mason Williams. The same year she appeared in and launched her solo recording career with the album I Remember Everything which features Jennifer's sun-kissed re-workings of songs by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees and Joni Mitchell amongst others. Her 1969 follow up See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me features more of her unique soulful take on songs by The Who, Bob Dylan and from Hair. Here we have two collectable orchestral soft pop gems together on one CD; re-mastered in the time honoured Rev-Ola tradition and featuring brand new in-depth liner notes and tons of rare photos and memorabilia!
