Love it! "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" will always be my favorite.

That one's a masterpiece.

Beautiful.

My current favourite is 'Sinnerman'. Simply breathtaking.

I'm not familiar w/ this one

Don't think I know it. I love "My Baby Just Cares For Me." Her daughter played "Aida" on broadway. (She was the one in the commercial, the one with locks.)

crazy bitch is right! ahhaha sike nah..but i'm more n2 i put a spell on u...ahh if i was a man i'd b scared to b wit a chick who liked THAT song...ahahha

"Four Women"

My hair rise when she finish that song with "What do they call me? My name iiiisssss PEEACHEEEEES!"

Goddness, she is so damn expressive. A stylist if you will, like Billie Holiday she ain't got a great instrument but she sho know how to use what she got and get her message across with so much easiness.

And she's such an underrated pianist. Her piano solo in "I Loves You Porgy" is the highlight of that song and also the solo in "Sinnerman" which is fuckin' naughty as hell.

I miss that lady to my core ya'll.

That's a Bee Gees song. Their own version is real sweet, too.

I forgot to mention that they call it Morning Of My Life, tho'.

I play In The Dark and Go To Hell often lately.
These are songs I can hear again and again.

Seems she was quite fond of the Bee Gees, then.
