In the evening - Sheryl Lee Ralph

Sheryl Lee Ralph was born in Waterbury, Connecticut on December 30, 1956. Ralph began her career on the stage and was nominated in 1982 for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Deena Jones in 'Dreamgirls'.

In 1984, she debuted as a singer with the album 'In the evening'. The title track was released as a single and became her only international hit. It reached number 64 in the UK and number 16 in the Netherlands. The B-side is incorrectly labeled as the instrumental version of 'In the evening'. But I don't know which song this is really.

My collection: 7" single no. 1825
Found: Record palace, Amsterdam, January 13, 1993
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'In the evening' / 'In the evening (instrumental)'

  1. The b-side is called "Ready or not" and is taken from the album (the forth song on side B).
