The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

My problem was her lack
of professional restraint; exactly what her audience
LOVED about her. She was a train wreck waiting to happen.
By the time she'd come along, I'd already experienced the
vocal stylings of the greats like Jackie Wilson, Nina Simone,
Sarah Vaughan, Mose Allison and Otis Redding, at places like
The Apollo Theater, Carnegie Hall,and in college where I got to
see Smokey Robinson, among others.
