    She was on a wheelchair and near her mid-70s, and she could still sing that song! What a talent God gave her.

      This shows that your gifts and talents transcends disabilities and health challenges. Famed legend opera singer, Ms. Jessye Norman, splendidly sang this song with much passionate and an anointing from God that gave me goose chills in my being! Wow! Phenomenal!

    I was so sad when I learned of her passing. I saw her live in 2013 and she was having trouble walking and was in discomfort, but didn't let it stop her from delivering a stellar performance.

    I work in NYC as driver for a private transportation company that operates a fleet of Wheelchair Accessible Dodge Grand Caravans for (Uber).
    I picked up a customer on a rainy night in Manhattan in 2019 and it was the legendary Jessye Norman! She was so humble and kind. We talked, we laughed and she encouraged me so much! God bless her soul 🙏! Eventhough we only met that one rainy night in Manhattan, I felt like she was a friend.
    She was a true gift!

    Très émouvant ! En depis de la maladie , Jessye Norman avait gardé cette voix profonde et chaleureuse ! Pour nous, français, elle sera toujours cette proue flamboyante qui s'avançait place de la Concorde , drapée du drapeau bleu blanc rouge , lors des commémorations du bicentenaire de la révolution ! Depuis , elle fit toujours partie de notre patrimoine national....
    Ce fût une chanteuse exceptionnelle qui restera toujours dans nos cœurs.

    Amazing how intact her voice remained, even at that age, and from a wheelchair! I do wonder if she and the pianist intended the tempo to be that fast... it seemed as if they were both at times nudging each other along at an increasingly quick pace. Still thrilling, however... and the acoustics in that space sounded great.
