She did handle the vocals but it is credited to Ramsey Lewis.
The normal version is widely available but i think (and i'm not 100% sure this the version you want) the only place to get the live version is on the Finest Hour album
http://www.amazon.com/Ramsey-Lewiss-Finest-Hou r-Lewis/dp/B00004WIP4/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_1/104-501 9323-2407908
Unfortunately you have to get this on import and it isnt available on i tunes.
Good luck - great track btw

Hi
Thanks for your help! Does the version that you speak of have a vocal or is just the insrumental? If it has no vocal, then it won't be the one!
Somewhere I have a tape onto which I recorded the track from the radio (but I'll have to dig around for it because it was 10 years ago). May be if I re-listen, I'll see if I get any clues from that.....perhaps I can email the radio station!
If I ever find it, I'll let you know!
cheers, andy

I'm sorry but all i know is that Marlena Shaw sang in the Ramsey Lewis Trio and that she sang on 'a' version of Wade in the water. Whether that version was ever recorded who is to say eh?
I suppose she could have added it to her own live set over the years, she performed it and it was recorded.
I havent heard the version on Finest Hour to be honest and deejbee's info only adds to the confusion does it not?
