I still marvel at the fact that it was recorded in like what,,,,2 or 3 days?  
Her version of Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most does it for me everytime 
The fact that she held her own among that fabulous ensemble proves to me that Chaka is as much of a musician as every one of them. Def one of my most special Chaka moments,,,,,let her sing any jazz or rock material, and she won't do wrong in my book  | |
