''Before the Dawn'' was the second album by jazz/R&B singer Patrice Rushen. While 1974's ''Prelusion'' was essentially a straight-ahead record with fusion references, 1975's ''Before the Dawn'' album was essentially a fusion album. With this album Rushen brings a fusion of R&B, pop, and rock elements to her jazz foundation. The album included the song "What's the Story," which was the only song that did not have a jazz artist's sound; it has a more funk tune which features singer Josie James. This would later be compared with songs from her follow-up albums as it showed great resemblance to her work as an R&B singer with Elektra Records. Everything else on the album, however, is instrumental jazz — although instrumental jazz that is mindful of R&B, pop, and rock. The album was a clear step for Rushen as it showed her entrance to R&B music and exit from jazz music. Her next album was ''Shout It Out'', which would be her last with Prestige Records. ==Track listing== All tracks composed and arranged by Patrice Rushen # "Kickin' Back" # "Jubilation" # "What's the Story" # "Before the Dawn" # "Razzia" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Before the Dawn (Patrice Rushen album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
