Never Too Far From The Top

weeedcircus v2

Two days late, but to still commemorate Jessica Cleaves' birthday (Dec 10th), here's a round-up of most of her solo material. 

Mrs. Cleaves remained quite anonymous throughout her whole career and never had the privilege to release her own album, so this is culled from all her leads (as band member) on albums by The Friends Of Distinction, Earth, Wind & Fire and mostly the P-Funk Camp, as she recorded a batch of songs while a member of the latter, but those remained unreleased until the early 90's

Added to the proceedings are her truly gorgeous vocals on Bobby Hutcherson's "Secrets Of Love" from his album "Highway One", which is of such beauty it HAD to be included here.  Jessica was a wonderful songstress, so these 40 minutes here are well-spent.
