The Very Best Of Abbey Lincoln (2 CD SET)

This invaluable 2CD compilation documents exactly how Abbey Lincoln went her own way, and became a role model for other singers, such as Cassandra Wilson who confessed: “I learned a lot about taking a different path from Abbey and investing your lyrics with what life is about in the moment”. Many others felt the same way..
