Good Black Is Hard To Crack was Esther Phillips' fourth and final album for Mercury, issued in 1981, and the last released in her lifetime. It was produced by Benny Golson, with Phillips and Bobby Martin as executive producers. The set mixes soul and jazz, running from the opener "Crazy" through "Cry To Me" and "City Lights" to the closing "Changin'". After its release she was left without a record deal, and she died in 1984. This is the US Mercury pressing (SRM-1-4005).
