    Roberta. A voice of an angel. She could touch your soul with her voice and the lyrics of her songs. So beautiful. Just melt you heart and drift away. So emotional. Thank you💐

    This song slew me in 1970. I was emotionally drained and became an ardent follower of RF permanently. Classical singer of classical songs. Immortal.

    My mom and step dad married in 1972 after both of them were widowed. I imagine this song captured the joy of their love / I was 12

    I rehab abandoned baby birds and have really felt the "trembling heart of a captive bird" in my hand that stopped suddenly. Playing God in that small way hurt so bad. Lot's of tears hearing the passage in this song!

    It's a fact that many black singers started out as Gospel singers. They honed their craft in the church n many bcame fine pop n soul singers.
