Singers: “I’m Too Beau’ful (for you) ” and “Sleep Naked”



Lawrence Davis - Gospel shouter, “I’m Too Beau’ful (for you)”, background singer, title song: “Sleep Naked”. Soulful, gospel revelator, Lawrence brings his incredible gospel shouts to “I’m Too Beau’ful (for you) ”, making it a revival meeting for relationship survivors. How can such a small man have such a giant voice? Davis is a church and session singer in great demand all around New York City.

Latasha Jordan - We were lucky to catch Latasha for the session as she was about to disembark for a tour of Italy with the Harlem Messengers. With a combination of “church” and sass, Jordan’s background singing livened up these tracks considerably.

Stephanie Rice - This talented professional also added her beautiful voice to the tracks. For a young singer, Rice has had a impressive career. She’s worked with such jazz greats as Winton Marsalis, Barry Harris, Jon Faddis and Cecil Mc Bee. Supportive, musical, a studio pro, Rice graced these songs with her charm.

ER: When Shinya first played the track to “I’m Too Beau’ful (for you)
for the three singers, they broke up laughing when they heard me
shout, “Let’s get busy” on the ad lib section. A couple of passes later,
they got through it... and how!
