Alice Clark (c.1947 – April 2004) was an American soul singer, known for her highly regarded recordings. Despite having little commercial success during her career, *Clark* gained recognition for her powerful and emotive vocals.
Influenced by the likes of Ann Sexton, Carolyn Franklin, and Leroy Hutson, *Clark* carved out a unique sound that resonated with fans of soul music. Her songs showcased a blend of heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies that captivated listeners.
Although she may not have achieved mainstream fame, *Clark's* impact on the music industry is undeniable. Her recordings continue to be celebrated by fans and critics alike, solidifying her status as a revered figure in soul music history.

When it comes to legendary albums, very few can match the cult status achieved on the international jazz and funk scene, by Alice Clark's eponymous album, recorded for Mainstream Records in 1972. The record which went unnoticed when it first came out has become one of the most sought-after albums ever since it became cult on the London jazz and funk scene in the late 80s. It is now being acknowledged as one of the best soul albums of all-times. Recorded live over two days at the Record Plant studios in New York City, the album was produced by Bob Shad and arranged by Jazz veteran Ernie Wilkins with a big band setting. The music is a superb mix of jazz and soul blessed by Clark's superb singing and including two all-time favourites, Don't You Care and Never Did I Stop Loving You plus a selection of heart-wrenching songs beautifully sung by Clark. Very little is known about Alice Clark and the legendary two-day session. All is known is she only ever recorded one album and passed away in the early 2000s. Wewantsounds will tell the Alice Clark story for the first time and give a unique insight into the birth of this cult album with a deluxe release that will pay tribute to her talent.
