Blending these styles and her powerful delivery of lyrics, this exceptional woman left an indelible mark on the world which would challenge hearts and change minds. Experience a glimpse of her incredible life and repertoire with memorable songs including 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood', 'Sinnerman’, 'Four Women’, ‘Little Liza Jane’, ‘Feelin' Good' and ‘My Baby Just Cares for Me’ with SA’s Jazz in Cheek Quartet.
