Deedles is the second studio album by American singer and pianist Diane Schuur, recorded with producer Dave Grusin. The album was released in 1984 through the GRP Records label and was a moderate success, peaking at number 33 on the Billboard magazine jazz chart. It was also her first record released internationally.[1]
A Billboard reviewer noted that Schuur's voice is a strong, warm alto with deft phrasing and a lot of heart, and she skillfully combines popular songs with more recent hits.[2] Cash Box magazine called the album an impressive novelty, and Schuur was called a talent with a wide vocal and emotional range who really knows how to sing.[3]
