    What a stunningly beautiful piece of music they created here.

    Unique arrangement. I think Joni herself would applaud it.
    Since there's no more Smooth Jazz Radio it is just the thing to be listening to in a cozy little club.

    I think I am weeping. This is so sweet. You pick up Mitchell's intonation, but in your own voice. Thank you. I wonder how many listener's know how difficult this song is?

    Not the First to FALL HARD & FAST for this VOICE and the gorgeous woman it belongs to...Lady Morgan owns a rich heartfelt Class unto herself but her voice takes us on an ethereal journey to heaven with tones that send one fiery and flaming!!🔥 💖Must check out her entire catalog of songs, some well known, but ripe again and originals too.

    No Drums (per se), no sax, no guitar. So how is this so true to the original? I 'heard' the lyrics like I never have before. That's the power of musical expression when talent can shine

    @Kevin15301 7 лет назад +41

    'Classy and magnificent" = exactly how I felt also. No one can just stand behind a mic and deliver a performance like Morgan. All of these people running around the stage in next to nothing, half singing; should take a couple of minutes and watch Morgan kill it.

    • @paulgardner6239
      @paulgardner6239 3 года назад +1

      Indeed. Surely we need the class of vocals to be put above whatever they show off on stage? Morgan is understated but has a classy rich tone.

    having seen quite a few videos of Morgan, I was surprised that this song came up. Very hard song to pull off successfully. But she did it well - very well indeed! You can tell that everyone knew it at the end. Very nice outfit (clothes) btw.
