I initially was never interested in her art when she wore the outrageous customs and thought she was a niche performer. Boy, was I wrong!!!
A very talented performer who will be around for a long time. IMHO
Seems like a down to earth person who gets along well with other performers. Also, she has comes from a close knit Italian family. I love the story of how she tells Tony Bennett her father used to have all of his records and she use to sing them, before cutting the above named album.
BTW - Sports fans don't like long renditions with riffs prolonging the song further as they start cheering, long before the song is over. I thought she did a great job. I still think Whitney's version is the greatest version ever sung and I remember Kate Smith well. IMHO
