In the Kennedy Center performance, watching all those notable musicians/vocalists enjoying her performance . . . they felt it too. Absolutely phenomenal. I hope to be hearing her voice in my dreams.

The Kennedy Center performance was the first time I ever heard Betty LaVette, imagine that. I thought Pete was going to cry.
Definitely need to add her to my collection.
