She is brilliant. A unique voice. My favourite song of hers is That Ole Devil Called Love. (which I have been known to sing myself).
Oh yes of course, absolute cracking song 🙂
I think its one she wasn’t too keen on herself, but I love it.
Yes, yes and yes, all the way! Listened to her right from the start (we are pretty much contemporaries). I’ve bought all her LPs and CDs. Fantastic concert in Liverpool c.2007 and even here in S Africa in Paarl 2014. Way to go!
Hey Chris, yes she has come a long way since the 80’s, but still has that terrific voice 🙂
