Easy is a studio album by Nancy Wilson, released in May 1968 by Capitol Records. It features arrangements by Jimmy Jones and was produced by David Cavanaugh. The opening and closing tracks are composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim.
In his review at AllMusic, Stephen Cook praises Wilson's "sultry and assured delivery" but criticizes the charts by Jimmy Jones. Cook notes "a few standout tracks, like the assured and dramatic version of 'Gentle On My Mind' and the single 'Face It Girl, It's Over.'"
The album reached #5 on the Hot R&B LPs chart and No51 on the Billboard 200.
The single "Face it Girl, it's Over" peaked at No. 15 on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart and No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a longer edit (3:09) than the LP version and features a non-album track, "The End of Our Love," as the B-side.
