I DISCOVERED SHIRLEY HORN BY SHEAR LUCK @ TOWER RECORDS IN YONKERS N.Y ON MY 40TH BIRTHDAY (1993) FINDING HER ALBUM "HERE'S TO LIFE" IT WAS AN ANSWER TO MY BIRTHDAY WISH TO FIND A NEW ARTIST & NEW SONGS, THEN I HAD TO FIND & BUY HER OTHER ALBUMS IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SONG I HEARD HER SING & PLAY PIANO. I WAS HOOKED. SHE WAS A TRUE KINDRED SPIRIT, HER VOICE & MUSIC TOUCHED MY SOUL I WAS FORTUNATE TO GET TO SEE HER A FEW TIMES IN PERSON.
Nobody and I do mean NOBODY sings a ballad any better than the Late Great Shirley Horn...PERIOD....FULL STOP!! The sound of her voice is a spell that is meant to be cast especially for nighttime reflection!!
Driving home one night and “Where do you start” came on….well I just lost it and cried all the way home remembering my divorce…no one has touched my heart like she did that night and I’ve been a fan since. Probably the only female singer I enjoy listening to. Thankyou Shirley
Just what I needed to calm my lil spirit down tonight. So much devastation going on all around me. Hurts my heart so bad. But this lady's calming soothing voice and manner just kind of lets me know it's going to be alright don't worry so. Geez I see why Williams and Miles loved her so. She reminds me of my matriarchal family in North Carolina, soft spoken but don't take no mess. The music in this video calmed me I've been feeling so heart broken and stressed. And I am grateful. I can't wait to get my social security check so I can rush right out and grab some of her music. Thank you so much.
I enjoy this documentary so much, I truly appreciate the person-Shirley Horn, she was cool. Steve Williams gave this doc humorous color and flavor. Well done..
I discovered Shirley Horn a few years ago, as a musician myself, I don't know how I didn't know about her before, but what a delightful artist to listen to, she has a marvelous style all her own. (I saw one performance where she wore gloves to play the piano! As a pianist all my life, I don't know how she did that, I doubt I could, but it didn't seem to deter her from anything I saw her ordinarily play. Very enigmatic, I wonder if she was having some arthritis in her hands or just why she wore gloves that time, but she was as great as ever!
Thank you for this beautiful piece of work! I took my 87 year old aunt to see Ms. Horn at the Bohemian Caverns in the renovated bldg. She was so gracious and beautiful! I am so happy to have so many memories.
Yes, she was awesome, and so cool. I remember going to one of her Bohemian Caverns performances too. It's to bad that that venue is not operating on the level that it used to be for jazz offerings. God Bless!

About half of those songs on "Here's to Life" are some of the best songs I've ever heard.
The BEST storyteller of all time!

"You step inside" (Shirley talking about getting lost in a song). Just like her and her music... the best that ever was, or will be.
