That decade could be described as the decade of the belters. There were so many singers with extremely powerful voices filling the airwaves. They would sing pop songs, jazz songs, even ballads, and they used their powerful pipes to give their unique touch to the songs.
One of my personal faves was Ella May Saison. Yes, the lady who popularized this iconic ballad:
"Till my heartaches end," is a study in contrasts. The lyrics were heartbreaking, but the melody was uplifting. The story was quiet, but the singer was powerful. No surprise that this was one of the biggest hits of 1996.
Gosh! That means this song is almost 30 years old. It feels just like yesterday when we were listening to this on a CD!
I'm so glad that this ditty is on youtube. So we may listen to it again.
