At the height of her art, the composer and jazz pianist Lorraine Desmarais offers a new work that celebrates the estuary of St. Lawrence River, connecting the Great Lakes to the North Atlantic Ocean. Reminiscences of landscapes surveyed and loved, of people met and appreciated feed the movements of the music suite with pictorial accents. Requisitioning the full potential of the piano, an instrument that is at once melodic, harmonic, and percussive, Lorraine Desmarais paints a fresco with an extensive palette, sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract.

Digitally remastered and expanded version featuring seven bonus tracks. The One And Only is a studio album recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips, released in August 1978 on the Buddah tag. It was their eighth and final album recorded for Buddah. The first single, InchSorry Doesn't Make It RightInch, was released in late 1977 and peaked at #24 on the R&B singles chart. Three more singles were released, including the title song, InchThe One and OnlyInch, InchCome Back and Finished What You StartedInch and InchIt's Better Than a Good TimeInch. Gladys Knight & the Pips were one of the most legendary and influential groups in the history of R&B, and FunkyTownGrooves ambitious new Gladys Knight reissue series spotlights a wide spectrum of the soul icons' long and impressive career from early 1960s to the '80s. From doo wop to soul to urban contemporary, this series beautifully illustrates the breadth of Knight's artistry.
