It's star time at, you know, well,
well actually it is.
It's star time at the shelter.
[A] [D] And the star [C] that is shining has shown for many, many years.
And that person is far beyond just a rescue me
or a soul of the [Gb] man because this artist [E] is complete
in the repertoire, in the artistry,
and most of all, her love of music and her love for you.
And the star is surrounded by other [Bbm] stars.
She's a superstar with other [Bb] superstars.
The lady who I have the privilege
of introducing, Fontella Bass.
