Quiet Bounce: I'm Almost Gone
This may not seem like the song you want to hear as the workweek ends and your weekend begins, but those are the breaks. Plus, how upset can you really be with a song that features two vocal powerhouses? Though "Almost Gone" can be found on versions of Mary from overseas, many of us are familiar with this track. It did rock many a Quiet Storm broadcast back when it was discovered 10 years ago. Lalah Hathaway's voice sounds as smooth as always, and who knew that Mary would be able to provide the perfect ad libs to bring the desperation home? Certainly not I, at least when I first caught wind that this song even existed. Take a trip down memory lane and reminisce over it. Mary would want it that way.

I love this website and I am loving the fact that your focusing on the greatness of Mary. And almost gone is one of thos great Mary songs that the public hasn't heard much like "Star for Life", "I'm in Love"

Neo-Soul Luva | November 7, 2009 4:59 AM | PermalinkThis song was actually featured on the Mary album import back in '99. Great cut. should have made the album stateside. It flows perfectly with the rest of the album.
