I got to see her live when I was in Nashville, at the Oprey, in the 90s. The entire experience was sublime.

I believe she came out here to the Watermelon Park Fest in years past. So sad. Rest in peace, Loretta.

That was the best thing she did in 50 years. Weird that it’s not on Apple Music. |

I found her fascinating. Shortly after we moved to Nashville, we went out to her venue and saw her show. It was really good as we expected but typical of the old Opry stars. The next time was at a Recording Academy event that was a tribute to her career. A string of today's top women performed songs from her career. Most were frankly disappointing but Reba was spectacular. The finale was a duet by Loretta and Garth Brooks. He sang about one half of a verse and stepped aside. She proceeded to go places I'd only heard a few Black Gospel singers go. Chills would be an understatement.
A few days later I told Harold Bradley about my experience. He laughed and said she always topped whoever came before her in the show. It was an unforgettable experience of what music can be.
