Solo Recording
In 1968, Vivian signed with Jubilee Records and recorded a jazz LP, The Look of Love that same year. The album was produced by Bob Stephens and conducted by Charles Coleman. The album included such tracks as "Love is Blue", "Try to Remember", "Sunny", "Strange Fruit", and "Lover Man". On the cover, Vivian is lying on the sofa with a snifter of brandy in her hand, hovering pensively above a burning cigarette in an ashtray next to a lamp on the side table. The album was not successful.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or recording:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“Write while the heat is in you.... The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
