This just made me think of my wife, it was love at first sight for me. She might say the same thing, I never asked. What a great song from my childhood, as a 57 year old, the music from this time was exactly what I needed as a child and now as a senior. Peace to you.

......blow the doors off if she wanted, yet doesn't. Pitch perfect and just enough style. Not to mention the lyrics, which are pure poetry.

Read a little about her, really interesting. Started out studying piano in college, switched to voice.

And a woman of many more. She has an exceptional voice and her sense of timing is just poetic.

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much it intrigued you to find out more about her. And she's lost nothing with age.
