This is the definitive version of this tune. No one does this like her. This makes goosebumps go up and down your very spine. The sadness just drips from her mouth and pours into your soul making the tears well up in your eyes. This is real communication. How many singers do you know who can touch you like this? not many.
Get the hell out of here! How did THIS voice escape me all these years?! The elegance of Sarah Vaughn and the grit of Carmen McCrae. Remarkable! Must have more.
Elenah1000, the honor goes to Lorez Alexandria. She was 14 years older than Janis Joplin and recorded the song seven years before her. Lorez was proud of Janis or maybe not.
