Naked and True is a studio album by Randy Crawford released in 1995 by Bluemoon/Atlantic Records. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart.[1] [2]
Naked and True was produced by Ralf Droesemeyer. Artists such as Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell are featured on the album.
With a 3 out of 5 star rating, Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote "Naked and True often sounds dated, but dated in a good sense — if you consider the late '70s and early '80s a great period for R&B, you'll find a lot to like about this enjoyable, if less than essential, CD."
Crawford's cover of "Give Me the Night" reached No. 9 on the UK Dance Singles chart and No. 14 on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart. Another cover, this of "Cajun Moon", reached No. 26 on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.[3] Her rendition of "Forget Me Nots" reached No. 35 on the UK R&B Singles chart.[4]
