I am listening to Rosie sing Sophisticated Lady with the Duke Ellington band. Talk about telling a story . . .this is it in spades. Then she sings " I let a song go out of my heart" and "I got it bad and that ain't good" oh what a great combo on the same CD.
I have many others but I probably would listen to "Hey there" as a 1st selection over anyone. She may have died in 2002 but she is not dead in my house or car.
