Jennifer Warnes has an incredible voice - she had a few hit singles:
"Up Where We Belong" - Officer and A Gentleman
"(I've Had) The Time of My Life" - Dirty Dancing

Background vocals (w/Linda Ronstadt) on Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy"

Her "Famous Blue Raincoat" is a masterpiece - all songs written by the late, great Leonard Cohen. Sometimes it's known as "Jenny Sings Lenny"...but SRV's guitar on the opening track is absolutely amazing.

Never, ever heard her name before, but I recognize those hit singles. So, I just listened to “Famous Blue Raincoat.” Very pretty music. Now I see why SRV was open to playing on one of her tracks.
