Now: A Celebratory 50th Anniversary Album

A graceful retrospective of a legendary career. These re-recorded classics trade orchestral bombast for intimate, jazz-inflected warmth and a weathered, soulful wisdom.

October 22, 2012 · H&I Music

A dignified and serene reflection on a lifetime of love and loss, delivered with hushed sophistication.

Moments Worth Listening For

The bossa nova shuffle on Always Something There to Remind Me that replaces the original's brassy urgency with a gentle, rhythmic sway.

The hushed, almost whispered delivery of the final lines in I Say a Little Prayer, sounding more like a private meditation than a public anthem.

The way her voice catches with a dignified rasp on the high notes of Don't Make Me Over, signaling decades of lived experience.
