Madame Foo-Foo


Madame Foo-Foo is an album by American jazz vocalist Dakota Staton recorded in 1972 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

Reception

Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Recorded with soul-jazz icon Richard "Groove" Holmes on Hammond, Madame Foo Foo not only boasts a hip, contemporary sound unlike any of Staton's previous efforts, but it's an approach that fits the singer like a glove, accentuating the earthy, blues-inspired elements so vital to her craft.... the session settles into a sinuous, late-night groove that complements the far-ranging material in full. Silent for so long, Staton clearly savors every nuance and turn of phrase, delivering one of her finest and most impassioned performances".
