Susannah McCorkle

Part of an interview and snippets of her singing. I taped over part of one of her songs and ran out of tape on the other. I'm uploading it anyway because I've never seen Susannah McCorkle on YouTube

I just discovered Susannah McCorkle because I wanted The Waters of March...

It is a real pity that she is no longer with us...She has inspired me to start singing again...A very special soul.

Thanks for posting this! There needs to be more of her videos available.

I was lucky enough to see her on two separate nights at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle back in the late 90's. On the second night she autographed the photo of her & me from the first night. And she sang my request, "The People You Never Get to Love" at the beginning of her second set, and dedicated it to me. She sounded even more beautiful in person.

I was devastated when I heard of her passing. Such a loss.

@sfarmer76 She killed herself around 3 years ago by jumping from her apertment window

When did she die? I never heard about this.

Waters of March touched my soul in a way few things have ever. Her version of that song is magical. She was an amazing woman, from her career before music leading her to music, and even her passing. This woman burned brightly.

Thanks for posting this. I have never seen video of her before. Sadly, I only found her through through stories of her death. R.I.P Sussanah, you are at peace now.

I miss you so much, Susannah - so much.

Such an intelligent vocalist. She instinctiviely knew when to impart the perfect shading to a word, a phrase, that nails the writer's intent. Listen to "Thanks For The Memory." Her reading is flawless and, to me, upon hearing Susannah's version the lyric is transported to it's true expression of a love that once was and the warmth that still attends that love. I picure it as a letter that has been written...

I always loved her unique speaking voice, she was a true pro and really worked and worked and worked on her unique versions of songs.

Thanks for posting this video.

I met her only once after a performance that she did in Philadelphia at the then Hershey Hotel. A marvelous performance and a totally gracious woman.

She is missed.
