''Brenda Russell'' is the eponymous debut album by the American singer/songwriter Brenda Russell, released in 1979.〔(Allmusic )〕 After working for several years with her then-husband Bryan Russell as session musicians and by themselves as the duo Brian & Brenda in the mid-1970s, the couple divorced and Brenda Russell embarked on a solo career by signing with A&M Records. Written almost entirely by Russell herself, the album included the singles "So Good, So Right" (released as a double A-sided single in the UK with "In The Thick Of It") and "Way Back When". The track "Think It Over", written by Russell with her ex-husband Bryan, was previously recorded by ''Charlie's Angels'' star Cheryl Ladd and was a top 40 for her in 1978 (Ladd and Bryan Russell would later marry in 1981). The track "If Only For One Night" was covered by Luther Vandross in 1985. ==Sampling== In 1998, rapper Big Pun sampled "A Little Bit of Love" on his hit single "Still Not a Player". In 2003, Mexican singer Thalía sampled the song in "I Want You", and in 2013 Ariana Grande and Mac Miller sampled the same song for their hit single, "The Way". In 2001, singer Mary J. Blige sampled "God Bless You" in her song "Flying Away". In 2000, the album was re-released on CD with new cover artwork and included Russell's most well known hit "Piano in the Dark" from 1988 as a bonus track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brenda Russell (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
