i do not identify with singing music because i can not sing, and so i can not really judge other peoples efforts, but i like thelma houston because she has huge command over her voice.
here is something i am going to try to play again because i like listening to her voice. it may be better to not look at the video and just concentrate on the music.

i met linda rondstadt, and she was fearless and brave and sang loud and pure. she was a better talent than thelma houston in my mind although they both were stunning
rondstadt was much older than me, but i got on very well with her. i was transfixed by the quality of her voice.
she was brilliant.
