Nola Blue Records announces Valentine's Day single from Benny Turner & Maria Muldaur
EntSun News/11049344
LANCASTER, Pa. - EntSun -- Brook Benton and Dinah Washington's 1960 release of "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" was a pop and R&B hit, reaching No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.1 on the Hot R&B sides charts. Benny Turner and Maria Muldaur, young adults at that time, were very early in their now legendary musical careers. Now, after more than six decades of performing, Turner and Nola Blue's newly-signed Maria Muldaur bring a wealth of experience to breathe unique life into the song.
Benny Turner, who recently released BT, an album honoring many musical friends and influences, was thrilled for the opportunity to finish the song which he had started for the album, but was unable to finish before its release. "Brook Benton was a good friend when I played with Dee Clark and we were on the road together during The Show of Stars in 1961," says Turner. "I used to do his hair. They called it a process. It means a lot to have the opportunity to put this song out there, especially with a true professional like Maria. Her ad libs are all first takes. It was a wonderful recording session!"
As if fate was in control, Maria Muldaur had plans to be in New Orleans for a recording session with Tuba Skinny for her new Victoria Spivey tribute album at the same time Turner had a session planned in The Crescent City at Marigny Studios. His backing track for the song, already completed, was in a great key and style that captivated Muldar. "I was so honored to be invited to sing a duet with Blues Legend Benny Turner," says Muldaur. "I'd admired him but never met him before. What a delightful man! We had instant rapport and so much fun singing that sassy old R&B classic together!! Check it out and enjoy!"

"To be in the presence of two octogenarians who have such mastery of their warm and soulful vocals and deliver the professional spontaneity that makes this track so special is something I will always treasure," reflects Nola Blue Records president, Sallie Bengtson. "Little did we know that the 'it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow' lyrics would be so relevant as the record breaking blizzard of New Orleans hit the very next day! Although that delayed things a bit, this recording is far too special to save for next year, so we're going full speed ahead to share it for Valentine's Day 2025."
