Simply beautiful....
Thank you so much for posting.

Both Shirley and Sinatra understood
all there is about phrasing ...and...
breathing . . .and when to end a phrase
with one long breath . . .

What a singer

SHIRLEY HORN..a vocalist
 Beyond Category...
So much feeling..so much thought
goes into each phrase . . to her- lyrics are
utmost...first.

Irene Kral also recorded it. That's Irene not Diana.

Shirley Horn was simply the best--Here's to Life is a magnificent album, and there are songs from that album--the title cut, this one, Estate'--that will just break your heart, they are so lovely. I had the great good fortune to see this great lady one year at Yoshi's in Oakland's Jack London Square--oh my! She has a lullaby quality to her voice and playing that just slays me. I miss her greatly, but I'll always have her.

Didn't she quit music just before she was about to make it big back in the '60s? Such a shame. She could have been as widely recognised as lot of the other great Jazz divas, if she hadn't.

magnificent ballad....

Is it possible I am just discovering this incredible talent. I should be ashamed if I were not so deeply grateful.
