beautiful voice - I almost prefer this song a capella.

Having jazz comp'd singers before, I must keep reminding myself that they're not like the rest of us [;^) The hands, etc. Doesn't take away from the marvelous rendition of the song. [I can hear spots where a nice bass line and brushes could really add something hot.]

[Ivoryshoulder]

I luv her voice: seductive and unique voice!
