She is awesome live...and will give the Queen of the Blues a run for her money any day! What a powerhouse voice!!!

[@peterruark645]

I thought SHE was the Queen of the Blues.

[@KevinBrown-wh9so]

I saw her daddy in a club in Westchester, Pennsylvania roundabout 1992 before he passed after he had his heart transplant and I was blown away. I’ve seen her five or six times and she never fails to stop bringing tears to my eyes when she sings this song, she is beyond amazing live

[@jamiekremer]

I saw her do this song about 15 years ago or so @ Williams Art Center @ Lafayette College in Easton PA. It was a relativity small venue, about 100-150 people. She did it with no microphone and just blew the place away!

[@johnmesser522]

I dream to see her & Susan Tedeschi lay it down together.. The 2 most passionate voices in contemporary blues..

[@dottiekellymusic]

I was told I sound like her because I sing the blues, she has an awesome blues voice. I have to say I do sound like her, we both has that big voice that take to you to church. I am honor to sound like Shameika Copeland.
