Capitol issued several albums per-year by Wilson during the 1960s, all of which reached positions on the US Billboard 200 and the US Billboard R&B albums surveys. Studio LP's that reached the top ten on the R&B chart included Today My Way (1965), Gentle Is My Love (1965), A Touch of Today (1966), Tender Loving Care (1966), Nancy – Naturally (1966), Just for Now (1967), Lush Life (1967), Easy (1968), and Now I'm a Woman (1970). Ten singles spawned from the LP's made positions on the US Hot 100, Adult Contemporary and R&B charts. Among them was the top ten adult contemporary song "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" (1966), the top 20 R&B song "Face It Girl It's Over" (1968) and her last-charting Hot 100 song "Now I'm a Woman" (1970). Wilson's first live album was also issued during this period called The Nancy Wilson Show! (1965), which made positions on the US Billboard 200 and R&B charts.
Capitol released 11 more studio albums by Wilson through the 1970s, six of which made the Billboard 200. Despite making chart appearances, Wilson's LP's made progressively-lower peaking positions here, such as the number 185 But Beautiful (1971) or the number 193 I've Never Been to Me (1977). Four of them made the R&B chart, including the top 20 LP's All in Love Is Fair (1974) and Come Get to This (1975). Nine singles made the US R&B chart through 1979, including the top ten "You're as Right as Rain" (1974). Wilson released eight studio albums with Columbia Records between 1984 and 1997. This included the Ramsey Lewis collaboration, The Two of Us (1984) and Love, Nancy (1994). The latter was Wilson's first to reach the top ten of the US Jazz Albums chart. The MCG Jazz and Narada Jazz labels issued Wilson's final studio albums, concluding with the top ten album, Turned to Blue (2007).
