    She was my "soul sister"...we spent some quality time together some 6 months before she left us for good....just chattind and reminiscing about the old times (we were the same age) and about all the good stuff that came along at the time when Jazz was king. NO ONE DOES BALLAD SINGING BETTER THAT THIS LADY!!!!!....NO ONE!!!!!!

      I envy you Sir. I am Rahn Coleman I can be found on Wickipedia. If I had EVER MET OR BEEN AROUND HER. . . at any point in my life. . .I probably would have never left her side. She is the most beautiful musical message ever.

      Juanita, you're not alone -- I'm a musician and I did not hear Shirley until much later in my life -- she's gone, sadly, but her music lives on in our hearts and minds! I will, thanks to those who upload these lovely songs, continue to listen to her for the rest of my life. I'll make up for what I missed earlier. She soothes my soul.

      You ask YOUR self "why?" I was a musician my whole life, (first classical piano then later instruments, both pop and classical and vocal) and I did NOT know about the fabulous Shirley Horn until the last several years, and I'm OLD! I like a number of vocal artists, about 5 very top singers that I really admire and like, and now, Shirley is right up there with them at the top, and her talent exceeds most of them because she is both a great jazz pianist and vocalist. Brava, Shirley and thank you for what you gave us!

    I also knew Shirley Horn late, through her 1991 top jazz album You Won't Forget Me, then the next year Here's to Life. Blown away, and had been collecting her cds.
    Love her phrasing, so emotive. Best piano playing singer.

    Patti LaBelle's knocks it out of the park with this song.
    And of course Miss Edith Piaf.

      So correct, never in the world can you hear something out of today's musical field like this -- unless maybe it's a classical number, but NOT ballads like this, they just don't write like this anymore, and certainly no one today sings like the very talented Shirley Horn!

All is forgiven and I realized that it was a life lesson and if I ever get married again, it will be so much better because I'm much wiser now. I hope you found true Love.
