I don’t disagree, and she has 100x the singing talent of Janis Joplin, and 10x Carole King (whose strength was writing), and 4x Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks. But I don’t like her work that much.

Similarly, when I hear Vera Lynn singing we’ll meet again, I get chills because of the context of the song. For a different kind of singing, I found Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” gets the elicited response. Your heart aches for both of them.

I would like to hear how Grace Slick would have done “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.

This came out at the same time as "White Rabbit." It didn't chart, but it should have been a big hit.
