Claudine Longet

Long-lost Sugar Me had to survive a record label's bankruptcy, Claudine Longet's divorce from Andy Williams and her subsequent shooting of Olympic skier Spider Sabich. When the album was finally issued, it proved to be a return to Longet's easy AM pop vocals. You'd be better served going to earlier Claudine Longet albums (newcomers are pointed to the folk-rock-oriented Let's Spend the Night Together), as Sugar Me will mainly court favor amongst those who find the Carpenters and Anne Murray too abrasive and outlandish.
