“I would file Sheree’s work alongside the likes of Bill Withers or Carole King. One day mainstream pundits will rise from the unconsciousness they seem to drift in and out of, and herald the likes of Sheree and her kind as being the bedrock which today’s music was laid out, planned and constructed upon.” – Toby Walker of SoulWalking
