The biting brass really accentuates the tenor of her voice.

Have you all heard the Dream of Life Album? If not go get it. It was one of her last and BEST!

You just have to LOVE this lady -- she's such a SINGER --- she really caresses thoselyrics.

heard her live in '80 in a little club. she just got bigger and badder sounding until she left us. thank god she didn't stick with that legal secretary career! but also, thank god for youtube--otherwise we'd never see this stuff. this wasn't even on pbs american masters series documentary on carmen.

LOL. Soon as this started playing, a bird right outside my window began to sing along. Carmen lives on!

the eyeliner, the lashes, the dress are mere windowdressing to the FAB vocals!

I love you Carmen, but that lil mustache should've been taken care of before hitting the stage. |
