Natalie Merchant "Verdi Cries" at The Santa Barbara Bowl 

Sounds better and better with every year, how can anyone forget this is beings new! Our magical talent. Had the pleasure of meeting her back in 1984…

Fans fell absolutely silent when she began this song because they wanted to hear every gorgeous note...and she mistakenly thought they didn't remember the song. lol Sometimes, when a song is this stunningly gorgeous and sumptuous, you don't even want to clap, you just want to savor every single note.

Natalie you are so amazing we love you

Thanks Wally! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for posting. She has such a great voice!
