Come Get to This is a studio album by American singer Nancy Wilson, released by Capitol Records in June 1975. Gene Page did the arrangements and conducting, and co-produced the album with his brother Billy Page. One of several R&B-oriented albums that Wilson recorded during the 1970s, Come Get To This included musicians such as Ray Parker Jr. and members of The Crusaders, along with songs written by Marvin Gaye, Leon Ware & Pam Sawyer, and Gene & Billy Page.
Andy Kellman at AllMusic said, "Wilson offers lush and expressive R&B [that should] disarm skeptics from both sides of the pointless jazz/R&B divide," and that the album "should not have been out of print for so long."[1]
Come Get to This reached No. 14 on Billboard's Soul chart[3] and No. 119 on the Billboard 200.[4]
In 2011, SoulMusic Records released a digitally remastered version of the album, paired with All in Love Is Fair, Wilson's previous album, which was also produced by Gene Page.[5]
