The pairing was tried out at a performance in Baltimore that October, and studio work began about three weeks later. US Rocker reports that the record was first planned as a jazz album and widened to take in R\u0026amp;B, blues and gospel; the players, Americana Highways notes, came from Cuba, New York, Alabama, Georgia and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title song, \"Searching,\" came from Marsalis. \"Thank You, Jesus!\" is a gospel song Reeves wrote herself, recorded with a 40-member choir. \"I was asked my opinion. I was asked to add lyrics or add songs I had written,\" she told Americana Highways of the sessions. \"It's like I've graduated.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore this record, Reeves's solo catalog ran from a self-titled 1973 album produced by Richard Perry through releases on MCA, Fantasy, Phonarama and Arista in the 1970s and 1980s. With the Vandellas she was nominated for a Grammy in 1964 for Best R\u0026amp;B Performance on \"Heat Wave,\" and the group's Motown singles also included \"Come and Get These Memories,\" \"My Baby Loves Me\" and \"Bless You.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Know You Is to Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch Your Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood Indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got It Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col start=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod Bless the Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummertime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank You, Jesus!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Know You Is to Love You (Bonus Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e*** Indie Exclusive ***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 659696575516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deko Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deko Music","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226580660382,"sku":"659696575516","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/int-2db874e46ca5a8de6b38ac4090f2f4e2-qyannerk.png?v=1790028046","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/martha-reeves-searching-purple-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
