[E] It's amazing to me, [Eb] although not surprising that it is such an iconic song and record,
only [E] because it was the debut of this special quality that my mother had, and people [Bb] were
blown away.
So it was really her big introduction to a lot of people.
[E] It feels like a perfect time capsule, too, of her.
I feel like the record really encapsulates
I mean, it sounds like my childhood, so [Eb] I'm a little biased, but it just sounds like a
perfect example of that time and everything [E] coming together in the right way.
And, you know, over the course of my life, I've become a receptor to the world, that
people that want to tell me, want to tell her how great she was and how much the song
affected their lives and how much her music meant to them and how special her voice was.
I'm the person by association, you know, and it's fascinating.
For many years of my life, it was so hard and I was just like, it's too much, it's too much.
But then I grew up and then I took such enormous pride in knowing that she really stands out
as this individual, this one of a kind gem of a human being and of a recording artist
and of a performer and really of a woman.
I mean, all the things I've learned about her.
I mean, I'm big now.
I'm not a little girl talking about my mom.
My mom was 31 when she died and I'm 45.
I'm so much older than she was and I've had so much time to really process all the information
I didn't really want to talk about or think about in the old days.
The amount that she did and the time that she did it and the impact that she had is
astonishing and yet [Gm] makes perfect sense for her ability because she was just special.
