In the TV series "Heat of the Night," the character of Luann Corbin was always convincingly well-played by actress Crystal R. Fox, but the episodes that featured her excellent singing voice were the highlights of her appearances; in particular, the episode "Singin' the Blues" (1993). In this seventh-season episode, not only does Ms. Fox sing beautifully in her church, but she sings blues exceptionally well in a newly opened night club in fictional Sparta, Mississippi. Otherwise, this episode was somewhat formulaic, but as always, was redeemed by its charismatic and talented actors Carroll O'Connor, David Hart, and of course, Crystal R. Fox.

A new singing star

Crystal Fox takes center stage in this episode. After confining her singing talents to her church, Sgt. LuAnn Corbin is asked to sing part time at a new
club opening in Sparta.
But it's her cop instincts that kick in when a couple of no good characters from Jackson show up and 'suggest' that Willie Gault hire a bartender of their choosing. Looking to plant a dealer in a fresh market. And owner Gault is a recovering addict himself and worrying about backsliding.
But seeing Crystal Fox perform is the real highlight of this fine episode.
