Remarks:
Nancy Wilson passed away this past week at age 81. Which makes me miss – Amy Winehouse. And, if I started to think about it too much, Phyllis Hyman too. They were here and then they were gone. Wilson, on the other hand, lived a long and active life, from the 1950s to the 2010s. I was never into Nancy Wilson, she was kind of before my time, but she was an influence on singers I like.
This song sounds like an Etta James song – because it is. Etta James sang it in 1960, Wilson in 1967, but I think Wilson does it better. Amy Winehouse did a cover too.
Requiescant in pace.

Lyrics:
Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone to love
Don’t go to strangers, darling, come to me
Play with fire till your fingers burn
And when there’s no place for you to turn
Don’t go to strangers, darling, come to me
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You’ll follow your heart I know
I’ve been through it all, for I’m an old hand
And I’ll understand if you go
So…
Make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don’t go to strangers, darling, come to me
