God Bless You 
It took me a long time to get into Brenda's voice though,,,,,but I'd say she's an underrated keyboardist. I've met in an in-store signing back when she released "Between The Sun And The Moon"(Another good set), lovely lady. | |

I think her strong suit is more songwriting (and playing) than singing.

 'Xactly! And yeah, her kinda-hoarse voice type of delivery probably isn't for every taste. the writing/playing is the main focus. I think her voice has a charm, though, it kinda fits for her music. I mean, I love Donald Fagen's singing, too, for the same reason....

I made a thread about her a while ago. She is so underrated. I love her and her voice. As did several other artists as they covered her songs as mentioned above. Dont forget Donna Summer's 'Dinner With Gershwin.' | |

and she also wrote "Dinner With Gershwin",an interesting,cleverly written song that she gave to Donna Summer in 1987: Brenda released her own version a year or so later. | |
