Album Description

Touch Somebody's Life, a CD of inspirational sacred songs, offers timeless and timely solace for these troubled days. The recording features 10 traditional spiritual and gospel standards. For more than seven decades, soprano Irene Day's voice has consoled the bereaved and lifted spirits over several generations. The original master of her solo album, He's Everywhere, recorded at Chicago's historic Brunswick studio in 1982, had all but disintegrated through metallic erosion and was nearly forgotten. But after 9/11 her music may have a second life in the form of a newly released CD, Touch Somebody's Life, which has been digitally re-mastered and musically enhanced with new arrangements, and dedicated to the memory of the victims of 9/11. Executive producer Dennis Day hopes that the new CD will find a new generation of listeners.

Irene Day has the unique ability to make her listeners feel that there are only three people in the sacred space of worship: The soloist, the listener, and God. Gifted with a rich lyric soprano voice, a fully two-octave range, and perfect pitch, Irene Day's delicate, sweet singing resonates with a personal faith tested by the vagaries of human experience. Anchored by the able accompaniment of pianist Marilyn Hairston, this re-mastered recording also features several renowned New York City-based musicians; J.D. Parren on woodwinds, Bob Cunningham on contrabass, and Dr. Gregory Hopkins, tenor/pianist extraordinare. The music of Irene Day offers the listener that special personal place of meditation, prayer, and reflection. "This is music inspired from a Christian perspective, but its raw emotion and power resonates with all people of faith," says Dennis Day. The CD includes songs like "Precious Lord Take My Hand," "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow," "Balm in Gilead," and others - songs that have traditionally provided hope and comfort to people in distress.

GREAT job for a debut album.......2000-09-09

I was very impressed. This singer is a true vocalist; and in this time of yelling-a-song-out, it is soooo refreshing to hear someone with such a beautiful voice. Her smooth sound catches your attention. How she effortlessly hits those long notes will keep it. This is a collection of old favorites (Precious Lord, Amazing Grace, Because He Lives, Blessed Assurance, etc.) which makes it a great sing along. The title track, "Touch Somebody's Life" transcends Christianity. I expect to hear this song on do-good tv show.

You can't go wrong buying this one for your favorite elder.
