This song touches me as my mother loved music. When she cooked, she played music and most times she sang along. We had one of the first hifi’s in the neighborhood. I heard Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Jo Stafford and so many more. I can also sing along with my mother’s music.

The album from which this song comes, Just Another Diamond Day, was released in 1970. It didn’t do well so Vashti stopped recording. Slowly it began to have a following and was re-released in 2000. I love this album
