The Cole Porter album was a nice, bouncy little effort but did not have much range to it, and nothing since then has been what you could call a power ballad. It has been at least 10 years since I last saw her in concert and I am almost afraid to think what it must be like now. But bless her heart for continuing to try and maybe there can be a resurgence.
