@Linelia

A lotta singers don't credit the singer that they actually copied the most, you know, to hide the Real Source.

Janis Joplion used to say Bessie Smith when she sounded more like Etta or Maybelle.

Nancy Wilson says Jimmy Smith when she's obiviosly doin Dinah; Joni Mitchell says Miles Davis when she clearly copied Joan Baez.

another amazing post. Marion was such an annointed singer with those Heaven shaking notes....why is it that there are so few left who sing it old school? This song keeps my feet a tappin' and makes my heart feel light....I am packin' up and I am ready to go...amen....
