Something about her voice just grabs at your soul. It’s like she’s giving last rites to someone actively passing.

I don’t disagree, and she has 100x the singing talent of Janis Joplin, and 10x Carole King (whose strength was writing), and 4x Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks. But I don’t like her work that much.

Similarly, when I hear Vera Lynn singing we’ll meet again, I get chills because of the context of the song. For a different kind of singing, I found Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” gets the elicited response. Your heart aches for both of them.

I would like to hear how Grace Slick would have done “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.

She actually sounds good here, but she was in good company.

Gonna make the mountains be my home ...
