Jessye Norman.

Goldfinch60



Another one leaves us,

A voice like no other.

Her sound was there for us,

For us all.

So many songs

Given to us

As her wondrous voice

Reached out to me.

And now she is gone,

But she is still with us,

Singing with the angels.

Jessye Norman,

Singing for eternity.

      Amazing voice moves along her spiritual journey. Wondering and questioning within me, what gifts will she receive for the gift she has given.

                  Jessye had tonal perfection in her voice and she will be sorely missed -- however we are blessed to live in an age when we can hear her still . thank you for the beautiful tribute dear Andy.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Yes she did have that perfection but as you say Fay, we can still hear her.
