I felt every word, note, period, exclamation point, breath, sigh, pause, question mark of this song. It doesn't get any deeper than this. Thank you Shirley, your interpretation of this song gave my life a deeper meaning.
I adore her. I first heard "Here's to Life" during on a lonely drive to speak at the University of Virginia. I fell in love at first note, and I'm not a necessarily a jazz fan. I kick myself for not going to see her live when I lived in Washington DC. It's a testament to pragmatic optimism. Love the arrangement too. May all your storms be weathered and all that's good get better."
I'm usually eloquent in what I want to say about a song and its meaning, but frankly, I'm speechless. Perhaps, I'm just not done "dreaming." Thanks for posting this incredibly moving song by a truly great artist. R.I.P. Shirley.
for whitney...
we will always love you
peace...

What a great song, so full of love for life. No sorrow, no pessimism, just "all that's good get better". Thanks Shirley: "Here's to Life"!

@blackandtanful はい、彼女は...それを得るために、いくつかのアーティストのためにそれだけ長い時間がかかる理由がわからない時は、長い時間のためにビジネスにされていた彼らだけのために....時々その後の人生で、時には生活の後

I am embarrassed that I am hearing this great and wonderfully recorded song for the first time today. I have replayed it 5x so far.
Thanks for posting, may all your storms be weathered.
