The album's first track alone demanded attention and pleaded for proper consideration and understanding with the power of that astounding voice propelling it to heights rarely attained in popular music.

As she sailed to the end of her career and life, she definitely earned the respect and adulation of millions. She will always occupy an important place in the music and culture of her age.
