Введение
Американская певица соул, джаза и блюза, Кристин Элизабет Кларк (родилась 1 февраля 1946 года), более известная как Крис Кларк, – американская певица соул, джаза и блюза, записывавшаяся на лейбле Motown Records. Кларк стала известна поклонникам северного соула благодаря хитам, таким как "Do Right Baby Do Right" (Берри Горди) 1965 года и "Love's Gone Bad" (Холланд-Дозье-Холланд) 1966 года. Позже она стала соавтором сценария к фильму 1972 года "Леди поет блюз" с Дианой Росс. Кларк спродюсировала песню на дочернем лейбле Motown "V.I.P." – "Love's Gone Bad", которая достигла #105 в поп-чартах и #41 в R&B-чартах США в 1966 году. В Канаде песня заняла 95-е место в рейтинге RPM 100. В 1967 году Кларк выпустила свой первый альбом "Soul Sounds" на лейбле Motown. Альбом включал двенадцать песен, в том числе редкую балладу Motown под названием "If You Should Walk Away" (Берри Горди-младший), выпуск которой в качестве сингла планировался, но так и не состоялся. Еще одной заметной записью был британский сингл 1967 года "I Want to Go Back There Again" (Берри Горди-младший). Она записала еще один альбом для Motown на его новом рок-лейбле Weed под названием "CC Rides Again" (1969). Бельгийский лейбл Marginal выпустил CD "Soul Sounds", созданный с оригинальных мастер-лент (с неизмененными миксами), который содержит песни из "Soul Sounds", 5 песен из "CC Rides Again" и 3 неизданных сингла. В 2005 году Universal Music выпустила двойной CD с 50 треками под названием "Chris Clark: The Motown Collection", включающий "Soul Sounds", "C. C. Rides Again" и множество неизданных записей Motown. Переиздание и ремастерированная версия альбома "Soul Sounds" была выпущена лейблом Reel Music в апреле 2009 года, впервые альбом вышел на CD в США. Кларк прославилась в Англии как "белая негритянка" (прозвище, подразумевавшее комплимент), поскольку шестифутовая платиновая блондинка с голубыми глазами, певица соул, гастролировала вместе с другими артистами Motown, большинство из которых были афроамериканцами. Кларк была соавтором сценария к фильму 1972 года "Леди поет блюз".
