The title cut of this near-classic album became a sort of theme song for
Ernestine Anderson
, but it is not the only high point. The singer sounds in top form on such fine material as
"As Long As I Live,"
a touching
"Old Folks,"
"My Shining Hour,"
and
"Poor Butterfly."
With fine assistance from pianist
Monty Alexander
, bassist
Ray Brown
, and drummer
Frank Gant
,
is heard throughout in prime form, sounding quite enthusiastic and powerful. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
