cgiles Senior Member Registered: 09/29/05 Posts: 6703 Loc: Roswell,GA/USA	In case anyone is interested in what I like musically, it's 'soul'. This young lady has it in spades, along with just the perfect voice for the type of material she does, well, did. Sadly, she succumbed to cancer at age 33. Funny how so many of the good ones die young. The tune is 'Wade in the Water', a so-called 'Negro spiritual' which has always been a favorite of mine and has been recorded to death by artist from all genre' (most notably by Ramsey Lewis). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWH6wR0Umqs&feature=related chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

I pulled over into a layby to wipe the tears from my eyes. At that point i truly wanted to be Somewhere over the rainbow. Her death was a terrible loss and we will never know just how incredible she would have been if she had continued to grow and develope as a musician/singer

keybplayer Senior Member Registered: 10/27/03 Posts: 2417 Loc: CA	That was a very nice rendition for sure. I didn't know who she was until now but she did indeed have a great singing voice. Sad she was taken at such a young age. All the best, Mike _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Mackie HR824 MKII Studio Monitors, Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro Mixer (made in USA), Cakewalk Sonar Platinum, Shure SM58 vocal mic.

Diki Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 14282 Loc: NW Florida	Maybe we're just using the wrong word, and get the wrong reaction, here. Let's stop posting 'demos'. We are NOT 'demonstrators', we are not auditioning for a gig, we are not trying to get a record contract... Let's start posting 'MUSIC' Surely that's something that all of us could enjoy doing? You know, playing a little music for our friends and acquaintances, no pressure. After all, we wouldn't even be TALKING about this lady if her music wasn't able to be listened to. SHE had no problem with it. Why should we? It's just music... No big wup! _________________________ An arranger is just a tool. What matters is what you build with it..!
