And what a treat for me, too! I'd never heard Ketty Lester sing "River of Salt". Although the quality of the recording isn't great her voice still comes across with tremendous impact! Wowed, I was. Could this voice be Billie Holiday's reincarnate? No wonder Ferry covered this piece, it has all the hallmarks of his proclivities; the stunning stylized voice of seduction, a pain filled distressed chant, the bluesy slightly jazzy sound, and smooth piano. Thank You Han!!! Best wishes.
