Album: I'm A Loser
I know very little about Doris Duke (real name Doris Curry) and how she came to make this album, and I have little desire to change that. The mystery adds to the quality of the music.

I picked up a CD copy of I'm A Loser (released in the UK by Ace Records) a few years ago and it's one of the most intimate, heartbreaking soul records I've ever listened to. Though its influence is minimal, I can't help thinking its reputation will build. Here are a few selections:
