A rare demo recording by Ann Peebles, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind one of soul music’s most distinctive voices.

Recorded during Peebles’ celebrated years with Memphis’ legendary Hi Records, the tape captures the raw emotion and stripped-back sound that defined the label’s classic era. Best known for songs like “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” Peebles became one of the defining voices of 1970s soul through her collaborations with producer Willie Mitchell.

Demo recordings from the Hi Records vault are exceptionally scarce, particularly material directly connected to Peebles’ recording career.
