Thanks for putting this out there. I didn't know she passed. Look at the dates between. Sigh.

She had such a remarkable voice in that her voice was so simple. It's hard to explain.

But her voice would work the song not the other way around. Thanks again for getting this out there guno.

Appreciated. I just wish this had not taken me so long to see this post of yours.
