O’s Notes: The soft whispery vocals of Helen Merrill are married with the soft but razor sharp tones of Gordon Beck’s piano (acoustic and electric) for this duet. The two complement each other beautifully. Highlights among the nine tracks are “When I Look In Your Eyes”, The Thrill Is Gone” and the bookends, “I Got It Bad” and “I Got It Good”. Vintage:1985.
