Meri Slaven is no ordinary singer — with an abundance of chops and great pipes, she could easily scat, bop or funk it up like the big dogs but has the class and good sense not to.

Patsy Cline, who broke the charts and more than a few hearts with this tune, would have no problem believing the depth of feeling here.
