Go Away Little Boy - The Columbia Anthology

As part of its well-received and critically acclaimed anthology series, SoulMusic Records is excited to present *'Go Away Little Boy - The Columbia Anthology'*, a musically rich retrospective of soul/jazz legend **Marlena's** work for Columbia, cut between 1977-1980. New York state-born Marlena gained initial popularity with her vocal readings of *'Wade In The Water'* and *'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy'*. Touring with The Count Basie Band for a number of years and developing her own club performances that combined her natural sense of wit and humour with a gift for musical storytelling, *'Sweet Beginnings'* spawned the now-famous *'Yu-Ma/Go Away Little Boy'*, with her wry, truth-tellin' spoken rap and a new version of the Goffin & King song she had cut in 1966. The track became Marlena's biggest hit and established her as a popular entertainer with R&B audiences worldwide. Included in this sumptuous anthology - with liner notes by SoulMusic Records' David Nathan (featuring an extensive interview with Marlena), remastering by **Nick Robbins** and artwork by Roger Williams - is the global CD debut of *'The Best Days Of My Life'*, from her final Columbia session with famed producer **Jack Gold**.
