Considering the way her voice just fills the room and bounces off the walls, it must have sounded heavenly in there.

[@MySensualWorld]

What happened to the microphone? There is no sense in them not haveing better equipment for such a world class singer.

[@samdamon2224]

My god, she was 68 at the time! Not only was the voice amazing but so was her artistry. She didn't just sing, she performed. That's the difference between a singer and an artist.

[@AlexusYoung-h6t]

Cissy Houston says this is chump change cause, she herself, sang with Elvis Presley back in the day.

[@ljcaines]

Anyone know the arranger or if the piece is published somewhere?

[@samdamon2224]

For a girl from Georgia, she has a surprising aristocratic European accent.

[@direfranchement]

Unfortunate about the mic.

[@erickdupree3280]

1 that's def not a singing mic! 2. That piano needs to back down!!! Mother is singingz

[@philipsmith3084]

Always someone focuses on negative.

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

hi mark

[@milagroelstak]

Did she break the mic with them heavenly vocals?

[@sidneyhadleyjr4804]

I know, that mic is the worst mic in the world. It did not pick up the colour in her voice at all.

[@peterlewis1061]

The sound tech probably didn't realize who they were handing the mic to and weren't prepared for the power of her voice.

[@n25bast]

@@peterlewis1061 It seems to me like they handed her a talking mic, not a singing one.
