Her voice is like a mix of Mavis Staples and Tina Turner. I just bought my tickets to see her in Anchorage Alaska in April.

She took a very good song written by Sir Elton and Bernie Taupin and turned into one the most haunting and melancholy tour de force's since "Is that All There Is?"

Sir Elton may sing this song again now that she has made it hers! Wow! I get chill at that line about having "a graveyard as a friend" because I KNOW!
Where has this "A" lady been all these years while so many "C" performers have been crowding the stage?

A great cover of a great Elton John tune. She puts an even darker approach to this song. An excellent job. WELL DONE !!
