"Songs From The Book" is a seven song collection of R&B and contemporary Gospel by the soulful diva Gabrielle Goodman. Goodman shows off her powerful vocals and demonstrates her skills as a songwriter and producer on this inspiring CD. As the writer of all but one of the songs on this CD, Goodman, the ASCAP award winning co-writer of Chaka Khan's "You Can Make The Story Right", proves that she's here to stay as a singer, songwriter, and producer. On "I Wanna Be With You" Goodman takes you back to the early days of Aretha Franklin and makes you wanna get up and dance. Her powerful vocals are a force to be reckoned with when her gospel roots shine through on "Thankful" and "Wade In The Water". Unafraid to share the spotlight, Goodman features vocalist Jeff Ramsey on "A Change Gon' Come" which is also written and produced by Goodman. When asked why she didn't sing lead on it she replied, " I wrote and produced it, so I'm there in a different capacity. And... Jeff sang the you "know what out" of it. I loved what he did with it and you will too!"All of the songs sizzle with soul power. Oh.. and if you're wondering what book the songs are from, all songs appear in Gabrielle Goodman's "Vocal Improvisation: Techniques in Jazz R&B and Gospel Improvisation" book.
