Ranny Sinclair

Ranny Sinclair

Ranny Sinclair has been played on NTS in shows including The Windmills of Your Mind w/ Taylor Rowley, featured first on 6 June 2019. Songs played include Ode To A Cowboy.

Sinclair attended Juilliard as a dance major, but ultimately landed a singing contract with Columbia Records. Her issued discography features several tracks that were turntable hits of the era or have since become valued Northern Soul favorites–all those cuts plus the remaining masters capture some of the top talent of the day, recorded in the Columbia New York studios.

Her recordings were overseen by Columbia's main jazz and pop producer, Teo Macero, who was also responsible for Dave Brubeck's sessions. Macero apparently suggested the collaboration between the artists on the "Something To Sing About"/"Autumn In Our Town" single. The pianist later reminisced about Sinclair, praising her "gentle, whispery" voice and lyric writing.

(Another Autumn Review) Soaked with the vibe and essence of NYC in the ‘60s and seasoned with a rich variety of styles from whispery, beatnik pop to moody & magnificent jazz, folk and soul, the four singles issued by Ranny Sinclair are uniformly brilliant, soft, sexy soundscapes–uncollected on a single LP until now. From the original Columbia Records mono masters, this long awaited debut includes performances by Dave Brubeck, and four previously unissued recordings!
