Straight from the Heart is the third studio album by American Memphis soul singer Ann Peebles. It was released on the Hi label in 1972 and included the songs "I Pity the Fool" and "Breaking Up Somebody's Home".
Peebles' second album, Part Time Love, in 1971 was her first record to impact the US R&B albums chart, and she began recording her third studio album at the Royal Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee later that year. Peebles' enlisted Willie Mitchell to produce the album and songwriters such as Don Bryant (with whom she was in a relationship and would go on to marry in 1974) and George Jackson.[1][2] Straight From The Heart also features the Hi Rhythm Section, the house band for the Hi label.[citation needed]
Straight from the Heart was released later in 1971 and the song "I Pity the Fool", originally recorded by Bobby Bland in 1961, became a minor hit for Peebles, as it peaked at no. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100. This was her second song to impact the US singles chart, after "Part Time Love" reached no. 45 in 1970.
