The thing is I LOVE the work of all the singers I mentioned... Truly admire them for their unque artistry... I forgot Kris Kristofferson for the list, too.... I think it is the heart and authenticity they bring to their music that connects, connected... and always will... for people like these... true artists coming from some deep place within... and able somehow magically to put that on stage (or meda) with them... or express it uncondtionally in their work...
