About this album
Sleeping Gypsy is one of Michael Franks’ most assured and elegant albums, refining his signature blend of jazz, soft rock and urbane lyrical detail. Released in 1977, it features the song The Lady Wants To Know and the beautifully flowing Antonio’s Song (The Rainbow), both of which helped define Franks’ reputation for smooth, literate songwriting. With its polished arrangements and understated groove, the album sits comfortably within the jazz-rock movement while retaining a distinctly conversational, intimate feel. It remains a key release for listeners drawn to sophisticated late-1970s crossover jazz.
