As one-half of the duo Sue and Sunny with her sister Sunny Leslie, Sue’s powerful voice graced many of the most significant records of the rock era. A (very!) partial list of her credits includes Elton John’s “Your Song” and “Tiny Dancer,” Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes,” T. Rex’s “20th Century Boy” and “Children of the Revolution,” Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” and “On the Radio,” and Tom Jones’ “She’s a Lady.” As a member of Brotherhood of Man, Sue’s voice was prominent on the international hit “United We Stand.” You can also watch sue supporting Murray Head as he introduced television audiences to “Superstar.” Now, Sue is releasing her first album since 1976’s Solo – and it’s been well worth the wait. After reconnecting with musician Steve Annetts, Glover revisited decades of recording. With remastering by Bob Clarke, refreshed arrangements by Bobby Jo Morledge, and new vocals added by her daughter to flesh out the original tracks, For No Reason at All collects 20 gems from Sue’s archives, almost all of which have never been heard before. In addition to duets with vocalists Bob Saker (whose songs were recorded by The Foundations, Helen Shapiro, Slade, and others) and her bandmate in The Brotherhood of Man, Tony Burrows (the voice of Edison Lighthouse, First Class, The Pipkins, and White Plains, For No Reason at All premieres a duet with the late Davy Jones, the enchanting and romantic “You’re My Everything.” The album also features songs by Barry Mann, Roger Webb, Tony Waddington, and Sue herself. TSD’s Joe Marchese provides the liner notes. (As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
