i don't usually comment but 'way better than aretha??' at the moment, for me, it's all about etta but aretha truly has her own thing. they are different. both fantastic
-What a great cover. What year, what album and what label is this.? I need to go find it . Sorry we just lost her. What a great talent. Always better than Aretha.
This is the Voice. Pain and sincerity can only create music that sounds like this. This woman was the epitome of soul, emotion, and performance. improvisation as she see fit, a backing band and a shitty mic, the real meat of jazz....thats all you need if you have IT within you. She is the Mother to all these present day emulators, these soulless voices that came after....Take note singers of today, and then give up. Mama don't play.
If I meet you ,and you meet me baby as1 and 1 is true .... my reality we won t meet in this wolrd , that s my luck .. Not many lady that can get that deep O so deep and transparent , true , like living emotional voice ! thank s for posting it , top of my list now ..
