Nancy is a studio album by Nancy Wilson, released on Capitol Records in January 1969. It was produced by David Cavanaugh, with arrangements and conducting by Jimmy Jones. Musicians on the album include famed jazz saxophonist Benny Carter, who also serves as arranger for one song.
In his AllMusic review, Andy Kellman calls Nancy "a more stylistically varied album [that] boasts the number 44 R&B single 'You'd Better Go' and the brisk pop of 'In a Long White Room.'"
The album entered the Billboard 200 on February 8, 1969, and remained on the chart for 14 weeks, peaking at No. 117.[2] It did better on the Hot R&B LPs chart, reaching No. 38.[3]
In 2013, Nancy was re-issued on compact disc with her 1968 album The Sound of Nancy Wilson, which was recorded around the same time and also features Benny Carter on alto saxophone and Jimmy Jones as arranger and conductor.[1]
