Miss Verrett passed away yesterday. I'm devastated. Verrett was an iconic and intensely hot singer, a true artist in every sense of the word. Rest in peace. Awake in glory.

We will never see a singer like Verrett again. What an exciting singer and actress to watch.

Does anyone know what the first song is and how I can get a hold of it? :D
On a different note: Give me Shirley Verrett as a Mezzo, give me Shirley Verrett as a Dramatic Soprano; I don't care, just give me Shirley Verrett. Not only one of the greatest voices that ever lived, but also a damn good actress.

This is from the Lp record "Singin' in the storm", it's a song called "No more slavery chains for me".
I think you can buy it on E-bay for example.

Could you please inform us about the song title that she sings at 1:27 ? Do you have it sung as a whole?
I would be very thankful ! Best wishes .

It is called "JUST A CLOSER WALK", but I don't know much about it. I suppose it's a spiritual, or a traditional sacred aria. It's from Verrett's album "Sacred Songs".
