Beautiful woman and beautiful spirit. Fantastic singer...musician. Thanks for this. Country music has roots in Appalachian traditional blue grass Celtic music mixed with southern black blues.

[@renaissanceman9168]

Yes. Country music only has intrinsic value and legitimacy in so far as we can emphasize its southern black roots. Country music is really an expression of southern black culture which white people have hijacked. Make Country Music Black Again.

Very nice lady. Her ‘Wrecking Ball’ album from the mid 90s is outstanding.

0:15 -- 35 Years old and yet so beautiful. There's a sullen reflection of her soul along her face here. If I was back in time to that day in 1982, I would have comforted her kind heart to know how beautiful she will eternally be.♥
