I only have a basic education and am not particularly articulate, but dear Ms Norman speaks to my soul. Wether it be by her words or her music. I adored her. May she rest in eternal peace. 🌹

I did not come to know of Ms.Jessye Norman until 2 years after her death. Oh how I had missed out on enjoying such a beautiful voice when she was still with us but I'm enjoying it now though social media like KZbin, thank you so much for this.
