...Just like it wasn't nothin. This woman's voice, simply put, is a National Treasure.

[@girlmusician24]

ShangoJamal but we both know she put the work in for many years before she got famous.

[@roddykennedy9476]

This is the most incredible musical performance I have seen on RUclips across all genres. Nobody should be allowed this much talent. Perfection......flawless.

[@laman8914]

One of the Best Vocalists Ever on the US-music scene. Oleta doesn't sing a song. Oleta lives a song. One can feel the spirit of a song in real time anytime Oleta performs. This is the Power of Oleta. Our Most Favorite American Singer.

[@dongaede3806]

I’ve heard a lot of versions of this song, but is BY FAR the best :-)

[@Spooms1961]

That swing sets it off brilliantly through Oleta’s vocals. So amazingly attractive to all ears that are able to hear...!

[@stellartunes]

no one can compare...playing, singing, writing...no one. the best!

[@Dbydesign1]

Her smile, her demeaner and her voice........all make me want more.
The Voice, should be her second name. Magnificant!!!

[@TheElusiveCav]

That was fabulous

[@0.5mm58]

Thanks, Oleta.
God bless the musician that got my heart.

[@gerard8174]

Now that's playing with confidence and authority... Having the technical skills is one thing, but bringing it with so much conviction is another. Beautiful singer.
