Essra Mohawk - "Born to Love"

Tender ballad off REVELATIONS OF THE SECRET DIVA which celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the Summer of Love. 1967 was stellar for Essra Mohawk - https://www.facebook.com/ESSRAMOHAWK.FanPage - as it's when Frank Zappa asked her to join the Mothers and it's also the year she opened for Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Procul Harum, The Grateful Dead, etc.

Essra's been called "a part of America's tapestry of rich musical culture" and a past record was called "America's most unheralded event" for that year.

The late Doug Riley on keyboards. Doug was a great contributor from Canada. He was genius, so I know if he does something with an artist he recognized musical genius. I remember the Summer of love too..
