This is in my top 10 vocal performances of all time. Rachelle is OUT of this world. The way she controls her soft and hard palate is unmatched, her phrasing is DEADLY.

With all of the stuff coming out now about the sexual escapades happening in Hollywood and the music industry, maybe Ms. Ferrell decided she didn't want to play their reindeer games. There are so many talented musicians who just dropped off the map. Why?

I agree that she probably decided to not to be a sell out. there is so much talent out there that we are unaware of due to main stream. Public radio in some states may touch on them. However, there is a need for local, or national independent stations to play the songs yester years. Stations not supported by iHeart, or SIRRIUS, etc. Time for new direction.

Receptiveness to feel, understand and enjoy Everything about this wonderful, wonderful musical GIFT of TRUTH. I am in the Moment, I am Present, I am Grateful to Be Alive. Thank You, Lord, for this experience. To Feel the Gift in the Moment. To know when you've Been Blessed need I say more? I think NOT
