First off, I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my house in full earlier this year at the age of 40 years old, and I'm now rejoicing by way of crying sweet tears of joy. So it looks like I had crossed over those many rivers of financial debt & a lot of other things that was known to hold me back, and for that I've finally found my way over to be at a much greater peace in my life. Thank you Jesus, my prayers have been answered. And all is right in my life.

I just wish she had recorded more, and maybe had different management. She had one of the best voices of the 20th century for sure, but she never really found a niche or became a big star.
