HER Way
by Jms Bell → (All Poetry by Jms Bell)

The world lost a true Lady today…a singer who took any song…touched it with her unique style, and it became a ‘classic’. If one is considering listening to a song from her vast repertoire, please don’t feel you’ve 'heard-it-before', listen to it…it’s always ‘new’ the way Nancy Wilson did it. I pray she made her peace and slumbers…until. Amen.

I remember Nancy…

she always sang …her way

       Didn’t matter what it was

           jazz, pop…whatever…she did it…her way

As a young woman, newly married

           I often enjoyed her crooning…her way

She was an impeccable artist of honesty and…truth

who didn’t stay in one lane…yet was never…uncouth

Sorry to see her go

        but, of course…heaven surely knows...

             A singer has arrived, with a voice…so clear

                     that’ll take any song…draw it near….

                                                        And do it…her way

 

Ps 78:72

A beautiful tribute to Nancy Wilson. Every evening I play YouTube songs for my partner while she cooks my dinner. She loves jazz, blues and lately has been listening to Christmas carols sung by the likes of one of her favorites, Mahalia Jackson. I think I will have to include Nancy Wilson very soon. Thank you for reminding me.

A wonderful poetic tribute Joyce. Nancy Wilson was a special lady. Yous she must be singing in Heaven now. Another Angel has gone from earth but she is with the Lord to stay. Amen

Not familiar with this singer. I will look her up based on what you said in the lovely poem in tribute to her.
