Straight to the Heart is a 1984 album by David Sanborn. It was recorded before a live studio audience and had performances of songs recorded on previous David Sanborn albums. The recording won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "With bassist Marcus Miller acting as producer and some memorable tunes being performed (most notably 'Hideaway' and 'Straight to the Heart'), this is one of altoist David Sanborn's better R&B-ish recordings. Joined by keyboardist Don Grolnick, guitarist Hiram Bullock, bassist Miller, drummer Buddy Williams and various guest musicians, Sanborn sounds fairly inspired and is in top form."[1]
