She is still my favorite. Ever since “You don’t know how glad I am” first thrilled me as a 7 y/o. It was my go to song in the Greene’s Diner jukebox. Rediscovered her in the late 80s and by the 90s i was hard core. I own more Nancy Wilson CDs, LPs, and digital media including DVD of her at Carnegie Hall. I got to see her twice at the beginning of this decade and was mesmerized, was an avid fan of her NPR radio show. And I grieved her death as if she was family. Her music guarantees to bring me to the happiest place. I especially enjoy listening to her vinyl recordings, you can hear her breath. Thank you for this beautiful post. Your tribute itself is a masterpiece and I hope inspires folks to give her a good listen.

This is a beautiful piece of writing about an incredibly beautiful singer. What a blessing she was, and what a blessing you are Mr. Gilbert for writing it.
