When I look back, I see how differently I’ve performed songs each time I sing them. I’m a very spontaneous and versatile singer so different musicians bring out my various qualities. Great classic song originally done by Gloria Lynne.

Day 88 – Quote of the Day
“Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it.” Sai Baba
Day 87 – Song of the Day – “Don’t Go To Strangers”
My grandmother introduced me to Billie Holiday as a child. Â I thought she was so pretty on the cover of the “Lady In Satin” album and her voice conveyed so much raw emotion.Â

Day 86 – Song of the Day – “Father He Said”
My father gave me a lot of sage advice much like the father in this song gives his daughter.  One of the things he told me that I have always kept close is, “Don’t ever forget where you came from.”  We had a deep bond and we held a special place in each other’s hearts. He named me Yvette after a Max Roach song and was such a “Be-Bopper” or Jazz enthusiast, so I naturally gravitated toward Jazz.  Dad, I miss and love you but know that you’re still watching over me. Thank you for all that you continue to be in my life.
