Even though she must have recorded this in her seventies, her voice is strong and filled with feeling. What artists now lack in this world of blues and pop these artists from her era mastered at a very young age. Her feeling is what moves the listener, and you don't even notice the fine stylistic phrasing, the use of words in just the right places with just the right accents, the way she builds the emotion from her timing and her vocal strength as it increases throughout the song--a lost art.
Alan Mirikitani of bb chung king and the buddaheads wrote this song for her and played guitar on this track.

This song brings me to tears, please don't take it off youtube. I could listen to it over and over again. Thanks.
