    SoulMusic.com"With her distinctive vocal style,.the late, great Esther Phillips (who passed away in 1984 at the age of 48) left behind a wonderful legacy of music that included soul, R&B and jazz recordings. As David Nathan recalls, "Esther was sassy, funny and a no-nonsense sharp shooter who took no prisoners.  She was uncompromising as an artist and someone I miss much.  She's often been overlooked in terms of her contribution to the world of music so it's great to shine the spotlight on Esther through a couple of our classic '70s interviews together and through her music."  Click below to see more.
