... I'd get chills from her singing a phone book, especially if Leonard Cohen wrote that phone book.

My favorite! I love the Pentatonix version, it was my previous fave, but this one is more visceral and real being done by one person who just kills it!!!

She has such a beautiful ethereal voice!

A friend of mine saw her live a few months ago. She said she is as beautiful as ever, and strong for an old lady. She did the first half standing up the entire time, not easy when you're 82! She had on a bright hot pink maxi dress and big hat and looked and sounded awesome per her!

... '04. The voice was as good both times, sublime. In Ohio I sat out on the lawn with several thousand, At the World - in a nice seating arrangement inside with less than 200. She had only three or four backing musicians.

First time I heard a complete album of her's was visiting a cousin at her dorm and her room-mate played the album with Marat on it (the first one) in '70 and I had an amazing revelation - there was gooood music and it had not a thing to do with rock. I'd left my folky days behind once I got to school and left them behind.
