This Mother's Daughter

This Mother's Daughter is a 1976 studio album by Nancy Wilson.

Grusin serves as arranger for most of the tracks, with additional arrangements by Duke and McCracken. This Mother's Daughter is Wilson's first album with all 10-tracks being original songs. The album's themes are centered on love, relationships and motherhood.

In an AllMusic review, Jason Ankeny calls This Mother's Daughter "the most soulful record cut by Nancy Wilson during her Capitol tenure," and says that McDaniels' "subtle but ingenious jazz-funk flourishes are essential to the project's immediacy and appeal." Ankeny hails Wilson's performance as "sophisticated yet saucy."[1]

gollark: Isn't that just `write`?
gollark: But there are a lot of CC "Linux" "clones", so yes.
gollark: I would expect that more people have interacted with macOS than Linux.
gollark: Wild theory on new people constantly wanting to make an OS: they think something like "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better." Not explicitly/exactly that obviously, but think this might be close to what's going on.
gollark: You know what, I'll just drop support for any foolish people on old versions.
